HC Deb 25 October 1960 vol 627 cc241-2W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how many grants for installing baths, hot water and toilets have been made in the last 12 months to private landlords and owner-occupied houses, respectively; and what proportion this comprises of houses suited to these amenities in the two classes.

Sir K. Joseph

Figures distinguishing between the two classes of owners are available only from the beginning of this year. During the first nine months of the year the number of grants approved for all the standard amenities was 7,705 for landlords and 29,768 for owner-occupiers. I cannot answer the second part of the question, as I do not know how many houses are suitable for improvement.
