HC Deb 17 December 1964 vol 704 cc137-8W
Mr. Hobden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many houses in the area covered by the Parliamentary division of Brighton, Kemptown, are due for demolition; and what estimate he will give for the completion of the work involved.

Mr. Mellish

My right hon. Friend has no separate information for the Kemp-town constituency. The number of unfit dwellings in the whole of the County Borough of Brighton is now estimated to be about 830, and the council proposes to deal with these within the next five years.

Mr. Hobden

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many properties in the area covered by the Brighton, Kemptown, constituency have no bathroom facilities.

Mr. Mellish

There is no separate information available for the Kemptown constituency. At the 1961 Census 8,275 of the 50,265 occupied dwellings in the County Borough of Brighton lacked a fixed bath.
