HC Deb 12 November 1980 vol 992 c207W
40. Mr. Douglas-Mann

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his latest estimate of the probable number of public sector housing starts for England and Wales in the years 1981–82, 1982–83 and 1983–84.

Mr. Stanley

Public sector housing starts in future years will depend on what proportion of their capital allocations local authorities and the Housing Corporation choose to devote to new building.
