HC Deb 14 November 1967 vol 754 c73W
Mr. Gardner

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what proportion of builders are now registered with the National House Builders Registration Council; and what proportion of new houses these builders account for.

Mr. MacColl

About 80 per cent. of all private sector housing is at present being built by registered builders. Nearly all the larger firms are registered, but some of the smaller firms build houses only intermittently and therefore no meaningful percentage of all firms can be given.
