Over the past 6 years the stock of rental

public housing has increased 14% from 348,000

flats in 1972/73 to 398,000 in 1977/78 (end of

year totals).

Over the next 7 years, the stock should increase

by a further 51% from 398,000 flats in 1977/78

to 600,000 flats by the end of 1984/85.

The annual production of new flats should reach

a level of 36,000 from 1979/80 and in order to

maintain this level of production beyond 1984/85

it will be necessary to open up new development

areas.
