HC Deb 24 March 1976 vol 908 c183W
Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many new council dwellings he expects to be built in the Greater London area in 1976 and 1977.

Mr. Armstrong

I do not wish to make a precise forecast, but I hope that the recovery we have produced in council house building both in Greater London and the country as a whole will be maintained. Starts in the Greater London area in 1975 were up by 26 per cent. on 1973 and completions by 20 per cent.
