HC Deb 20 December 1933 vol 284 c1294
43. Mr. STOURTON

asked the Minister of Health the number of persons officially classified as living in conditions of overcrowding in the borough of Salford; the number of tenements regarded as unfit for human habitation; and what plan has been submitted by the local authority to deal with the situation?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The Salford Corporation consider that there are in the county borough 1,381 unfit houses. The programme submitted by the corporation provides for the demolition of all these houses within the next five years. No classification of the nature referred to in the first part of the question has been communicated to my right hon. Friend.
