§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what area of new office space in Greater London remained unoccupied in April, 1967; and what is his estimate of approximately for how many homeless people this area could provide homes; and what were the areas of new office 435W space in Greater London remaining unoccupied in each of the last four years.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonIn April, 1967, some 3 million square feet of new office floor space in Greater London remained unoccupied. These buildings are quite unsuitable for housing homeless families, and costs of possible adaptation would be prohibitive. The only comparable figures available for previous years show that the amount was 5 million square feet in November, 1964, and 3¼ million square feet in April, 1966.
