Mr. John Robertson
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the average tender price of local authority four-apartment houses for each of the years from 1945 to 1965; what was the average floor area of these houses; and what was the cost per square foot of superficial floor area.
Mr. Ross
The following table gives such information as is available. Information on average floor areas and hence on the cost per square foot is not available for the years prior to 1958.
