HC Deb 10 July 1991 vol 194 cc378-9W
22. Mr. Skinner

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the latest figures for public sector house building; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Yeo

The latest estimates of public sector house building in England, mainly by local authorities, show 12,000 completions in the year to May 1991, of which 2,400 were in the latest three months.

Housing associations are becoming the major providers of new subsidised rented housing and their output is forecast to rise significantly over the next three years.

Full details of house building by sector are published monthly by the Department in an information bulletin.
