HC Deb 27 February 1991 vol 186 c529W
34. Mr. Janner

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many houses were completed in the United Kingdom in 1980 and 1990, respectively; and how many he expects to be completed in 1991.

Mr. Yeo

Figures for housebuilding in Northern Ireland for 1990 as a whole are not yet available, but taking Great Britain alone there were 235,500 housing completions in 1980 and a provisional estimate of about 184,000 completions in 1990. The Department does make forecasts of total housebuilding starts and completions.
