HC Deb 19 May 1965 vol 712 cc249-50W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what estimate he has made of the number of dwellings in Great Britain whose occupants live in them by virtue of their employment, including the Armed Forces; and of the number of persons per year who have to seek fresh housing accommodation on leaving such dwellings.

Mr. Mellish

My right hon. Friend estimates that at the time of the 1961 Census there were about 840,000 dwellings in Great Britain occupied or intended for occupation by virtue of employment, including employment in the Services; there has been little change in the number since then. He does not know how many people leave these dwellings and seek fresh accommodation each year.
