§ 81. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how far the cost of building houses erected by local authorities and by private enterprise for the same type of house, respectively, has increased during the past five years in the Metropolitan Police area; and if he will indicate the main causes of this increase.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI have no figures showing the cost of houses erected in this area by private enterprise or by the London County Council. The situation in the London region is in any case exceptional because flats and not houses make up the greater part of the programme.
