HC Deb 04 December 1979 vol 975 c155W
Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated average cost of construction of a two-storey five bed space house in a new town in England.

Mr. Stanley

In 1978 the average cost of construction of a two-storey five bed-space house for new town authorities in England was about £10,800. This excludes the cost of land and associated site works, and is based on house building tenders accepted by new town authorities.
