The number of dwellings built by registered social landlords and local authorities in England in the six months from April 2001 to September 2001 is 7,300. This figure is 11 per cent. of all dwellings built in the period. Figures on the number of dwellings built by tenure are published monthly in the Housebuilding Statistical Release. The next release, giving figures for October 2001, will be published on 6 December. Information on how many dwellings will be built by March 2002 is not available.
