HC Deb 08 August 1980 vol 990 c360W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many houses were completed in Scotland during the past 12 months in the private sector, by the various agencies in the public sector, and under the auspices of housing associations; and what estimates he has made of likely completions during the current year.

Mr. Rifkind

Provisional figures based on the latest available information for house completions during the 12 month period from 1 April 1979 to 31 March 1980 are as follows:

Local Authorities 4,852
SSHA 1,201
New Towns 2,081
Housing Associations 740
Government Departments 91
8,965
Private Sector 15,300

I have made no comparable estimates for the current year.
