88. Mr. Philips Priceasked the Minister of Health what proportion of the new houses built since 1945 have been fitted with solid-fuel appliances, regarded as fully efficient by modern standards.
§ Mr. BevanPrecise statistics are not available but large nubmers of houses built between 1945 and 1948 were fitted with efficient appliances. Since the end of 1948 it has been a condition attached to the approval of all housing schemes submitted to my Department that the main solid-fuel appliance in each house is one of those tested and passed as efficient by the Ministry of Fuel and Power.
