HC Deb 15 February 1955 vol 537 c22W
69. Mr. A. J. Irvine

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many applications have been made for certificates of disrepair under the Housing Repairs and Rents Act, 1954, in Liverpool to the latest convenient date; and how many such certificates have been issued.

Mr. Sandys

I am informed that up to 4th February Liverpool City Council had received 868 applications by tenants for certificates of disrepair. Of these 779 had been granted and one refused. The rest were still under consideration. Up to the same date, there had been 55 applications by landlords for the revocation of certificates of disrepair, upon the completion of the required repairs. All of these had been granted.

70. Mr. A. J. Irvine

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what approximately is the proportion of certificates of disrepair issued under the Housing Repairs and Rents Act, 1954, to the total number of applications for such certificates in England and Wales to the latest convenient date.

Mr. Sandys

I regret that this information is not yet available.
