§ Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what percentage of housing at the latest available date is being built 243W for private ownership; what the percentage was in June, 1970; and what estimate he has made of what the percentage will be in five years' time.
§ Mr. Gordon Campbell32 per cent. of all houses started in the quarter ending 30th September, 1971, were for private owners, compared with 21 per cent. in the quarter ending 30th June, 1970. I regret that it is impossible to make any prediction of the proportion five years hence.
