HC Deb 20 March 1995 vol 257 c56W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many new homes were completed privately by housing associations and by local authorities in 1994(a) in England and Wales, (b) in Southwark and (c) in Lambeth.

Mr. Robert B. Jones

It is estimated that housebuilding completions in England and Wales during 1994 amounted to 125,800 private enterprise dwellings, 33,700 housing association dwellings and 1,400 local authority dwellings; a total of 160,900 dwellings.

During the 12 months up to the end of September 1994, housebuilding completions in the London borough of Lambeth were reported at 96 private enterprise and 195 housing association dwellings; a total of 291 dwellings. Figures for the last three months of 1994 have not yet been sent to the Department.

Figures for Southwark are not available as this local authority has not sent the Department any statistical returns about housebuilding in its area since March 1986.
