§ Mrs. Lena Jegerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the number of dwellings completed by system building methods to the last convenient date, and the number now under construction.
§ Mr. MacCollI would refer my hon. Friend to the information published 121W quarterly in Housing Statistics (H.M.S.O.).
In 1967, 49,030 of the dwellings completed for local authorities and new towns in England and Wales were built by industrialised methods: the number under construction at the end of February, 1968 was 66,831. It is estimated that in 1967 about 10,000 industrialised dwellings were completed for local authorities and new towns in Scotland.
Comparable statistics are not available for private sector dwellings but the number built by industrialised methods is small.
