HC Deb 24 July 1972 vol 841 c228W
Mr. Merlyn Rees

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many houses and other premises in which a least one person is ordinarily resident are without the supply of electricity; and what proportion this constitutes of all such premises in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Channon

It is estimated that 36,000 dwellings in Northern Ireland, almost 8 per cent, of the toal, have no electricity.
