HC Deb 03 March 1970 vol 797 c62W
70. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many local authorities built houses by direct labour in 1969 compared with 1965; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Greenwood

149 local authorities built houses by direct labour in 1969 and 184 in 1964. I have no doubt that direct labour organisations continue to have a valuable part to play in the housebuilding programme.
