HC Deb 07 December 1955 vol 547 c65W
58. Mr. Dodds

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made in dealing with the housing shortage in Gibraltar.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Since 1945 the Gibraltar Government have constructed over 800 permanent, 550 temporary dwellings at a cost of more than £3 million. The first 48 of the 328 new flats to be built during the next five years are nearing completion. The current building programme should meet the most urgent needs of the Colony.
