HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 cc368-9W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will estimate the present number of controlled dwellings in England and Wales and in Greater London, respectively.

Mr. Mellish

I estimate that at the end of June, 1966, there were about 1¾ million controlled tenancies in England and Wales, of which about ⅓ million were in Greater London. A more precise estimate is not possible on the available data.
