HC Deb 22 July 1964 vol 699 c106W
Mr. Coulson

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many homes for old people were built in Hull in each of the years 1945 to 1963.

Mr. Corfield

My right hon. Friend has no information about privately built homes for old people. The available figures for council building relate to one-bedroomed dwellings which are usually but not invariably occupied by the elderly. The following are the numbers of one-bedroomed dwellings provided by the council as housing authority in the years 1945 to 1963 and of places provided by new building or conversion by the council as welfare authority:

Years Dwellings built by Council as Housing Authority Places provided by Council as Welfare Authority
1945–48 … Nil Nil
1949 … 30 Nil
1950 … 26 Nil
1951 … 76 57
1952 … 24 46
1953 … 141 59
