§ 70. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will give, in tabular form for each year since the end of the war, the names of the first six local authorities which head the list 80W for the building of houses, together with the number of such houses built by the council and by private builders, respectively.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThe information requested is not readily available, but the number of houses completed in each local authority's area since the war is given every quarter in the Appendix to the Housing Return. No fair comparison can be drawn between the performances of different authorities unless allowance is made for differences of population and needs, availability of building land, and so forth.
