asked the Minister for the Environment the number of local authority houses completed in the Twenty-six counties in the last three calendar years; and the number of persons on the waiting list in each area.

The number of local authority houses completed in each of the last three years is as follows:—

1980

The number of approved applicants for local authority dwellings in each area at 31 October 1982, the latest date for which this information is available is set out in the following tabular statement, which I propose to have circulated in the Official Report.
