Can anyone tell me when cavity walls become common?

How long is a bit of string? I've seen Victorian cavity walls in terraced
houses, and non cavity walls in 1930's semis.

More exposed areas tended to adopt them first.

I would say 'more often than not' post WWII.

I cant think of many post war houses that don't have cavities. But
plenty of 30's style ones with solid walls exist.

There was a great drive to regulate everything in the post war labour
government.
