§ 28. Mr. SkinnerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the latest annual figures for local authority house building; and what was the comparable figure for June 1979.
§ Mr. BaldryIt is estimated that local authorities completed 2,900 new dwellings in England during 1992. They completed 72,500 new dwellings during the 12 months to May 1979.
Housing associations are now the main providers of new social housing and the Housing Corporation estimates that an extra 80,000 homes will have been made available to new tenants during 1992–93.
