HC Deb 04 March 1958 vol 583 c122W
87. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many houses have been erected by Welsh local authorities for occupation by old people in each of the last three years; and what is his estimate of the number to be erected in Wales during the next twelve months.

Mr. H. Brooke

During the last three years Welsh local authorities have built 400, 199 and 243 one-bedroom bungalows. These are not provided exclusively for old people, but are, of course, especially suitable for them. I cannot give a firm estimate for 1958, but the number is likely to show a considerable increase over 1957.
