§ Sir Reginald Eyreasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the constituencies in which Smith houses have been reported to have defects.
§ Mr. GowThe condition of houses of this type is discussed in the Building Research Establishment's report, "The structural condition of Smith system houses" published in December 1983, a copy of which is in the Library. Information on the location of the stock of Smith houses is not available for all parliamentary constituencies. We do know that there are Smith houses in the Birmingham Hall Green, Hodge Hill, Northfield and Yardley constituencies and in the Ashfield, Amber Valley, Leicester East and Cardiff West constituencies.
