§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will compile statistics of the number of applicants for council houses in various parts of Wales.
§ Mr. Peter ThomasNo. Local authorities maintain lists of applicants for council houses in their own areas. To gross these lists for the whole of Wales would not produce a realistic indicator of the extent of the need for new house building since the numbers of applicants on waiting lists are invariably higher than the numbers of people requiring houses.
