§ Mr. Costainasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will publish in the Official Report separate percentage figures for the number of houses and flats built for local authorities and for owner-occupiers, where industrialised building methods have been used, which were started in 1964, and similar figures for the period in 1965 for which statistics are available.
§ Mr. MacCollThe figures below show for local authorities and new towns in England and Wales the number and proportion of dwellings started in 1964 and in the first three quarters of 1965 by industrialised methods. My right hon. Friend has no comparable details of industrialised dwellings built in the private sector; but the numbers are very small.
Number of dwellings started Percentage of total 1964 … 23,710 16.9 1965 (to 30th September) … 24,321 23.1
