§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, whether, as a result of the inquiries made by his Department, he will now state how many people were on local authority housing waiting lists in Great Britain on 1st January, 1960, 1962, 1964, 1966 and 1967.
§ Mr. MacCollNo inquiries of this sort have been made, except on a sample basis. Housing waiting lists are of very limited value as an indicator of need, since the method of compiling them varies considerably between authorities.
