HC Deb 15 April 1943 vol 388 c1380
44. Mr. W. Joseph Stewart

asked the Minister of Health the percentage of overcrowding in England and Wales, county by county?

Mr. E. Brown

Owing to large-scale movements during the war, up-to-date figures are not available. The latest particulars are contained in the survey for the year 1936, and as a large tabular statement is involved I will, with permission, send my hon. Friend a copy.

Mr. Sorensen

Is the Minister aware that there is grave overcrowding in some parts of the country, which will be much worse before the end of the war and tragic when the war has finished?

Mr. Brown

In cases of overcrowding due to transferring war workers we have made special postal surveys.
