HC Deb 22 July 1965 vol 716 cc262-3W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses were completed in Glasgow in the six months ended 30th June, 1965; how many of these were municipally owned; and what are the comparable figures for the six months ended 31st December, 1964.

Mr. Ross

In the six months ended 30th June, 1965, 1,842 houses were completed in Glasgow and of these 1,397 were owned by Glasgow Corporation. The comparable figures for the six months ended 31st December, 1964, were 2,436 and 2,125. The reduction in the number of local authority completions was a direct consequence of the fall in approvals in the summer of 1963.
