§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the percentage of the population in each local authority in Great Britain who live at a density on average of over 1.5 persons per room; and how many persons in each case this involves.
§ Mr. AlisonThe most recent complete figures available are those from the 1966 Sample Census of Population. Figures for the number and percentage of persons living at a density of over 1.5 per room were published for each local authority with a population of more than 15,000 in the County Reports on that Census and laid before Parliament.
I will send the hon. Member these figures together with those for the smaller local authorities and the numbers of persons covered.
