59. Miss CAZALET

asked the Minister of Health the estimated number of people in this country who have been re-housed in new accommodation since the War by local authorities and by private enterprise, respectively

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Shakespeare)

No exact information is available, but a conservative estimate of four persons to a house would suggest that 3,200,000 persons occupy new houses erected by local authorities and 6,800,000 occupy new houses erected by private enterprise since the War.
