asked the Minister of Health the number of houses, of various types, allocated annually since 1945 to the City of Sheffield and the number actually completed and the number under construction in each year; and if at any time within this period there has been a delay in the city's housing programme because an allocation was completed before the next was granted.

It is not possible to give the information in the form asked for in the first part of the Question. The numbers of houses completed and under construction are given in the published Housing Returns. The answer to the second part of the Question is "No."
