HC Deb 11 November 1970 vol 806 c167W
Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many new houses will be completed by the end of 1970 and ready for occupation; and what will be the number still on the waiting list at the same date.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

About 33,500 houses were completed in the first nine months of 1970; I cannot say how many more will be completed in the last quarter. I am asking local authorities for information about outstanding housing needs.
