§ 68. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many old people's bungalows have been constructed or are under construction; in what regions they are; and what is the present annual level of grants made by his Department towards this scheme.
§ Mr. H. BrookeMy records classify dwellings according to number of bedrooms only. Figures for one-bedroom dwellings, which are the type particularly suitable for old people, are set out in the table below.
One-bedroom houses built for slum clearance purposes attract a subsidy of £22 1s. a year for 60 years. Otherwise the subsidy is £10 a year. Higher amounts are payable for flats in blocks of four or more storeys.
since the war, of which 3,110 are houses and 7,916 flats. They have a further 1,941 under construction, of which 446 are houses and 1,495 flats.
I am unable to say how much subsidy is payable on these particular dwellings, because this depends on the date when and the purposes for which they were erected, and I do not possess this information in detail.
