HC Deb 26 February 1968 vol 759 cc254-5W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total number of houses completed in 1967 by the use of industrialised building methods; and what will be the estimated percentage by such systems in 1968.

Mr. Ross

Of the houses in the public sector approved in 1967, 14,128, or 36 per cent. of the total number, are to be build by industrialised methods. Statistics are not available for industrialised houses completed, but I estimate that about 10,000 completed in 1967 and about 12,000 completed in 1968 will have been built by industrialised methods.
