HC Deb 16 April 1969 vol 781 c248W
42. Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many private houses were built by housing authorities within the 33 counties for private occupation in 1968; and in what year was the global figure last reached.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

In 1968 the private sector completed 8,720 houses. This is the highest total achieved in any year since 1934. An analysis by areas will be found in the Housing Return for Scotland, 31st December, 1968, published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
