HC Deb 10 February 1976 vol 905 cc127-8W
Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many houses and/or flats have been built by the Housing Executive since 1970 in the constituency of Belfast, West, excluding the Lower Shankhill development and the Carlisle Circus development,

(2) how many houses and/or flats have been built by the Housing Executive since 1970 in the constituencies of Belfast, South and East; and how many dwellings have been scheduled for the constituencies of Belfast, South and East, to December 1980;

(3) how many dwellings have been scheduled for completion by the Housing Executive for the constituency of Belfast West; and how many dwellings will be built in the respective areas involved in the programme to December 1980.

Mr. Concannon

The information in respect of the numbers of dwellings built is not readily available because the Northern Ireland Housing Executive assumed the functions of the former housing authorities over a two-year period and local authority boundaries and parliamentary constituencies have changed since 1970.

The Housing Executive released its draft Northern Ireland public sector housing programme for 1976–77 to 1980–81 to district councils as a consultative document only recently, and it is not, therefore, possible to provide information on the number of dwellings scheduled for completion in specific areas.
