§ Mr. John Hallasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what at the latest convenient date is the average cost per house of a three-bedroomed semidetached built by local authorities in England and Wales; and what he estimates will be the additional cost per house of building to the standards laid down by the Park Morris Committee.
§ Mr. MellishThe latest available information about the average cost of 3-bedroomed houses, approved for building by local authorities in England and Wales, relates to the third quarter of 1966 and228W was £2,732. Previous figures in this series appear at Table 14 in Housing Statistics No. 3, 1966, prepared in the Ministry. There is no information about the cost of semi-detached houses as a separate category.
It is estimated that the extra cost of a house with all the Parker Morris Standards compared with one without any would be about £400.
