§ Mr. A. Lewisasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will publish a table in HANSARD giving, for the area covered by the Greater London Council, the names of the existing local authorities who have since October, 1951, been engaged on local authority house building, the number of local authority houses built by each council for each year since 1951, and the costs; and, taking 1951 as being equal to 100, what has been the percentage rise or fall in production of such houses for each year.
§ Sir K. JosephSuch a table would contain over 3,500 entries and its compilation would entail a great deal of work. The house building figures are obtainable from the published Housing Returns. Figures of cost could not readily be provided in the form requested.
§ Mr. A. Lewisasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will give, for the various councils now included in the Greater London Council area, the number of louses which each council wanted to build in each year from 1951, and the actual number for which he granted building permission.
§ Sir K. JosephIt would require a great deal of work to extract these figures and I do not think that it would be justified.
§ Mr. A. Lewisasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and 229W Minister for Welsh Affairs if he will publish in HANSARD a table of figures giving the average size in square feet, the average building cost, the average annual loan charges and the total cost of three-bedroomed local authority houses built in the local authority areas comprising the Greater London Council for each year since 1951; and, taking 1951 as 100, what has been the percentage rise or fall in these respective figures to date.
§ Sir K. JosephI regret that this information is not readily available and could not be obtained or estimated without a very considerable amount of work.
