§ Mr. Nigel JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a table showing his Department's forecasts for all social housing completions, and the actual number of completions, for each year since 1979.
§ Mr. BaldryThe Department does not prepare forecasts of housebuilding completions. Estimates of actual new housebuilding completions by housing associations and by local authorities are published in "Housing and Construction Statistics". Figures for 1979 are in table 6.1 of the annual publication "Housing and Construction Statistics 1979–1989: Great Britain"; figures for each year from 1980 to 1990 are in the 1980–1990 edition. Provisional estimates for 1991 are shown in table 1.2 of the December quarter 1991 edition (Number 48) of the publication "Housing and Construction Statistics; Part 1". Copies of these publications are in the Library.
