HC Deb 20 May 1976 vol 911 cc680-1W
Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the level of corporation house building in Liverpool in the last two years; what starts are in the pipeline; and how this compares with the level of house building by the corporation over the last 15 years, year by year.

Mr. Armstrong

The number of council dwellings completed in Liverpool in 1975 was 1,845, and the number approved but not yet started at the end of December was 274. Corresponding figures for the years 1966 to 1974 appear in Local Housing Statistics, copies of which are in the Library. Details of the number completed from 1961 to 1965, of which approximately 5,000 were built outside the area of Liverpool, were as follows:

1961 1,567
1962 2,135
1963 2,540
1964 3,007
1965 2,733
