Dr. Bennettasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many houses in the United Kingdom are now without electricity supply, inside lavatories, running water, and water closets, respectively.
§ Mr. CrossmanInformation about electricity supply is not available. At the 1961 census, 1,126,000 occupied dwellings lacked water closets in or attached to them, but it is not known how many had other kinds of lavatory. 336,000 occupied dwellings were without cold water taps in 1961. The figures for dwellings lacking water closets or cold water taps each included an estimated 100,000 caravans, houseboats, or similar dwellings. No later figures are available.
