§ 27. Mr. Shepherdasked the Minister of Health how many houses have been condemned as unfit for human occupation since the end of the war and remain occupied; and how many houses condemned as unfit for human occupation before and during the war are still occupied.
§ Mr. DaltonI regret that this information is not available.
§ Mr. ShepherdWhy is the information not available? How is it possible to assess the housing problem unless these figures are made known?
§ Mr. DaltonThis information could only be got by asking all the local authorities to fill up a lot more forms, and I am not going to start off by doing that.
