Default When did lath and plaster go out of fashion?

In general, and perhaps in rural Scotland?

Just taken down a small internal "porch" from my daughter's kitchen.
Clearly not original (flat dates from the turn of the century) and built on
a chipboard floor. Bits of newspaper stuffed in the wall suggest a date of
1981 for its construction but surprised by its L&P construction.

Were there still "old school" builders in the early 80s using L&P or is it
more likely that the floor was replace beneath an existing internal wall?
