§ Mr. Murtonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will set out in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table showing the number of houses in Great Britain erected before the year 1850, the number erected between 1850 and 1875, between 1875 and 1900, between 1900 and 1919, between 1919 and 1945, between 1945 and 31st December 1951, between 1st January 1952 and 31st December 1964, and from 1st January 1965 to the latest convenient date.
§ Mr. MellishThe number of dwellings still used for habitation in Great Britain in mid-1966 is analysed below by the period in which they were erected originally. The estimates for the groups of years before 1919 are subject to a greater margin of error than those for the later years.
