asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will give for the most recent five years, including the projected figure for the current financial year, the number of new dwellings started and completed, distinguishing between the local authorities, housing associations and the private sector; and if he will give the same figures in respect of units of accommodation provided by modernisation by the same sectors.
