HC Deb 21 December 1983 vol 51 c264W
52. Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the latest figure for public sector house building in 1983; what are the comparative figures for 1979; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

Provisional estimates of housebuilding in England in the first 10 months of 1983 appear in table 2 of my Department's housing statistics press notice—No. 551—released on 2 December, which is available in the Library. During the same period of 1979, 69,600 public sector dwellings were completed in England.
