Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what provisions he makes in relation to the cost yardstick for housebuilding to allow for the differences in building costs between various of England.

Differences in building costs between one part of the country and another are reflected through a series of regional variations to the basic yardstick cost tables. These variations are set out in DOE Circular 61/75.
