§ 13. Mr. Shepherdasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what steps he is taking to obtain information as to the number of houses unfit for human habitation and the number annually coming into this category.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanThis information could be obtained only by asking each local housing authority to survey their area. As was said in answering the hon. Member for Clapham (Mr. Gibson) on 28th April, I am studying the whole question of unfitness and disrepair with a view to a comprehensive plan. I am not yet in a position to add to that answer.
