HC Deb 11 November 1975 vol 899 cc672-3W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the latest information he has on the average site cost per unit of local authority housing development in the South-East outside the Greater London Council area.

Mr. Armstrong

Local authorities have a general discretion from the Department to purchase land for housing purposes within district valuers' valuation limits and without informing the Department. They are no longer required to submit details of land costs and this information is not available within the Department.
