§ Mr. Lomasasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will publish in table form the number of houses built to let and the number built for sale in the county borough of Huddersfield for each year since 1945, and the number of houses without inside toilets and/or bathrooms in each year when a census was taken.
§ Mr. MacCollAll the dwellings built in the county borough of Huddersfield for the local authority since the war were for letting. None were for sale. Information is not available on the division of private housing between those built for letting and those for owner occupation but it is believed that there is little private building for letting.
Details of the dwellings completed since 1945 in Huddersfield are given in the table below.
The numbers of dwellings in Huddersfield without a fixed bath at the time of each of the three post-war Censuses have been estimated as:
1951 18,700 1961 14,200 1966 11,200 Information on inside water closets was not collected before the 1966 sample 91W census; there were then an estimated 10,100 dwellings without this amenity.
