HC Deb 08 May 1951 vol 487 c193W
12. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Local Government and Planning when figures will be available showing the total number of persons on the waiting lists for houses; and the number of houses now unfit for human habitation.

Mr. Dalton

In reply to the first part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Shrewsbury (Mr. Langford-Holt), on 13th March last. In reply to the second part, the number could only be ascertained after a house-to-house visitation by officers of the local authorities.
