HC Deb 06 July 1933 vol 280 cc489-90
24. Mr. HICKS

asked the Minister of Health if he can give an estimate of the number of houses at present controlled, decontrolled, and new, corresponding to the figures referring to September, 1932, given in Cmd. 4208?

Sir H. YOUNG

As the reply to the hon. Member involves a statement in tabular form, I will, with permission, circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT the figures so far as England and Wales are concerned.

Following are the figures:

From such information as is available to me I estimate the present position to be approximately as follows:

"A" Class Houses.
Controlled … 450,000
Not Controlled—
De-controlled 400,000 … 850,000
New 450,000
Total … 1,300,000
