§ 53. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the number of extra workers employed directly and indirectly, respectively, for one year in the building of 100,000 council houses.
§ Sir George YoungThe Building Research Establishment report "Resource inputs to construction: the labour requirements of house-building" concludes that, on average, 172 man-days of labour are required to build a local authority dwelling. Assuming 240 working days per year very approximately 70,000 man years would be required to build 100,000 council houses. Comparable information for indirect labour is not available.
