Flats: Construction

Robert Neill
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many and what proportion of new dwellings completed in 2008-09 were flats.

Mr. Ian Austin
Information on the proportion of new build dwellings completed in 2008-09 that were flats is published in live table 254 on the Communities and Local Government website at the following link:

http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/housing/xls/table254.xls

The figures are shown as proportions and not numbers since the estimates are based on incomplete coverage of new build completions.
