§ 21. Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the latest official figures for house-building, both in the public and private sector.
§ Mr. FreesonThe figures for May show that there were 13,500 starts and 13,900 completions in the public sector; private sector starts were 13,200 with 12,200 completions. These figures are the highest monthly figures reached so far this year and I hope that the improvement will be maintained.
