HC Deb 30 July 1946 vol 426 c160W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Health if, in his next monthly housing return, he will make the starting date of the statistics clear.

Mr. Bevan

The starting date of the statistics given in the housing returns is 1st April, 1945. In a very few instances the statistics include earlier figures which cannot be separated out; but the instances are so few as to be negligible.
