Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what, according to the 1971 Census, is the percentage of homes with an outside we for Great Britain, Birmingham, and the parliamentary constituency of Birmingham, Perry Barr.

Mr. Alec Jones

The 1971 Census gives the following information. The proportion of private households in permanent buildings without the use of an inside we with or without an outside we was 11.3 per cent. in Great Britain, 14.6 per cent. in the Birmingham Metropolitan District, the new administrative area, and 19.5 per cent. for Perry Barr.

Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will list in the Official Report the 50 parliamentary constituencies which, according to the 1971 Census, have the highest and lowest percentages, respectively, of homes with an outside we; and if she will give the figure for each of these constituencies.

Mr. Alec Jones
