Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses in the private sector were completed in Scotland in the first five months of 1972; and by what percentage this is an increase or decrease on the same period in 1969, 1970, and 1971.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Private sector housing statistics are collected quarterly. In the first six months of 1972, 5,281 private houses were completed. This is an increase of 45 per cent., 21 per cent. and 5 per cent. over the numbers in the first six months of 1969, 1970 and 1971 respectively.
