HC Deb 02 November 1930 vol 134 cc210-1W
Major GLYN

asked the Secretary for Scotland how many houses are in course of construction in Scotland by private enterprise and assisted by Government subsidies?

Mr. MUNRO

The number as at 31st October was 1260.

Major GLYN

asked the Secretary for Scotland what is the estimated annual output of bricks in Scotland; what proportion of this output is available for housing; and how many brick houses this would allow to be constructed in one year?

Mr. MUNRO

I am advised that the present estimated annual output of bricks in Scotland is one hundred and thirty millions. Of these sixty millions are available for housing. This quantity is sufficient to build 3000 houses in a year.
