§ Mr. Charles Morrisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) if he will list the number of slums cleared in each year since 1945 in the United Kingdom;
(2) if he will list year by year since 1945 the Government estimate on 1st January of each year of the number of slums still to be cleared in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. MacCollThe information is not available in the form requested.
Latest figures for the clearance of unfit houses are set out on pages 34 and 35 of "Housing Statistics—Great Britain: No. 3 1966". Estimates of the number of unfit dwellings still to be cleared are not obtained annually, but an estimate is given as at 1965 for England and Wales on page 39 of "Housing Statistics, No. 1" and the figure for Great Britain was then estimated as about one million.
