HC Deb 05 February 1975 vol 885 cc501-2W
26. Mr. Peter Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authority properties have been empty on 1st January for the last five years.

Mr. Freeson

The Department's relets surveys showed less than 1 per cent. of local authority dwellings vacant and available for letting at the end of each of the years 1970 to 1973. The figure for end-1974 is not yet available.
