HC Deb 24 July 1922 vol 157 cc49-50W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health how many of the 434,000 unoccupied houses referred to in the Census of 1911 were unfit for habitation; bow many empty houses there were at the Census of 1021 and how many of them were unfit for habitation?

Sir A. MOND

I would refer the hon. Member to the paragraph on uninhabited dwellings contained on page vi of Volume VI of the Census, 1911, from which he will see that buildings in ruins and others condemned as unfit for habitation were not intended to be counted as dwellings in the figure referred to. The figures for 1921 are not yet available.
