HC Deb 26 March 1980 vol 981 cc583-4W
33. Mr. Stoddart

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his latest estimate of the average cost of building a local authority dwelling.

Mr. Stanley

The present estimate of the average cost of providing a local authority dwelling started in the fourth quarter of 1979 is about £19,250, including a sum—likely to be subject to considerable variation from scheme to scheme —of about £6,250 for land, site works and fees.
