HC Deb 28 February 1957 vol 565 c213W
106. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Works how many building workers were employed on municipal housing schemes in 1954 and 1955; and how many are so engaged at present.

Mr. Molson

It is estimated that on average 238,000 workers were employed on local authority housing schemes in 1955 and 218,000 in 1956. The figures collected in 1954 do not separate public from private housing.
