HC Deb 24 January 1980 vol 977 cc374-5W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proportion of the gross national product, divided into private and public spending, including mortagage tax relief, has been spent on housing in each of the last 10 years; and how this compares with other Western European countries and with the United States of America.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Information on total expenditure on housing in European countries and the United States of America is not available without considerable cost being incurred.
