asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many public and private houses have been started and completed in Glasgow in each of the past six years.

The information requested is set out in the table following:

Area: Glasgow district council
Year	Public sector		Private sector
	Starts	Completions	Starts	Completions
1976	1,412	2,307	376	200
1977	408	1,754	387	530
1978	661	1,719	586	347
1979	1,294	711	928	817
1980	997	484	988	897
1981	128	2,000	970	1,079

Figures on starts and completions for 1977–80 have been published in Scottish Housing Statistics: the published figures may differ marginally from the above because of subsequent revisions notified by the local authority.
