HC Deb 22 November 1971 vol 826 c271W
75. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in order to present a complete picture of housing throughput, he will include the figure of houses approved but not started in the housing returns.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

This is already done in Appendices I, II, III and IV of the Housing Return for Scotland.

76. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in view of the continuing fall in house building in Scotland, he will resume the publication of monthly returns on progress.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Monthly statistics have proved to be of little value and could not cover the whole field of house building.
