I know that back in the 1940s/1950s and even 1960s you had a MINIMUM floor space requirement, these days there is no such thing, builders can build as small as they like and get away with it.

Yes but the private sector is no different, yes older houses (Council and private) are both bigger, but also newer ones are BOTH smaller - people in HA properties are not being hard done by, we also have the same size properties, not bigger than yours.
