HC Deb 11 July 1984 vol 63 c588W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many dwellings were completed in Northern Ireland in (a) the public sector and (b) the private sector in the latest full year for which statistics are available; and how this compares with the completions achieved in the best year in each sector respectively, since 1954.

Mr. Chris Patten

The latest information is contained in the "Northern Ireland Housing Statistics" to December 1983; comparable information for the earlier years is contained in the previous issue of the same publication (October 1973 to 1982), in the "Digest of Housing Statistics for Northern Ireland" 1 June 1944–30 September 1973 (1969 to September 1973), and in the "Housing Returns for Northern Ireland" 1 June 1944–31 December 1958 (1954 to 1958) and 1 June 1944–31 December 1968 (1959 to 1968). Copies are available in the Library.
