§ 143. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what will be the estimated increased percentage of the number of houses to be built as a result of the reduction in the size of council houses from over 900 to 737 cubic feet.
§ Mr. MarplesThe specimen new-type plans range from 889 to 924 sq. ft. in superficial area for three-bedroomed dwellings and from 762 to 784 sq. ft. in superficial area for two-bedroomed dwellings. It is too early to judge the effect upon the building programme of the provision of dwellings within these sizes.
