HC Deb 17 March 1965 vol 708 cc289-90W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the latest estimate he has made of the number of houses without baths in Mossley, Lancashire; and how this compares with the number five years ago.

Mr. Mellish

The latest complete information is derived from the 1961 Census Returns. These showed that 1,781 houses were without fixed baths. Since then 157 unfit houses have been demolished or closed, most of which will have lacked baths, and bath have been installed in 185 house with the aid of standard improvement grants. It is not known how many baths have been installed without grant.
