HC Deb 31 October 1946 vol 428 cc137-8W
94. Mr. Murray

asked the Minister of Health how many central heating schemes have been installed on new housing estates; in what number of houses; and with what results.

Mr. Bevan

One district heating scheme is being installed on a new local authority housing estate. Thirty houses are at present connected to it, and it is proposed ultimately to supply heating by this means to 1,300 houses on the estate. As the scheme is still in process of development it is too early yet to form a conclusion as to its results.
