HC Deb 01 February 1979 vol 961 c556W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses were completed in Scotland in the public and private sectors, respectively, in the last 12 months for which figures are available; and what were the comparable figures for the previous 10 years.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

It is estimated that 11,500 public sector dwellings and 14,500 private sector dwellings were completed in 1978. Final figures are not available as returns have not yet been submitted by all local authorities. Details of the house-building completions for the previous 10 years are published in "Scottish Housing Statistics" which is available in the House of Commons Library.
