HC Deb 26 February 1931 vol 248 c2307W
Mr. SIMON

asked the Minister of Health approximately how many houses have been completed since the War for letting and for sale, respectively; and how many have been completed under the same headings during the year ended 30th September, 1930?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am afraid that only an approximate estimate is possible. Allowing a substantial margin for possible error, I should put the proportion, as regards both the 1,600,000 houses built since the Armistice and the 160,000 houses built during the year ended 30th September, 1930, as two-thirds for sale and one-third for letting.
