HC Deb 19 July 1968 vol 768 cc308-12W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will state the number of dwellings for each major local authority, improved under grant procedure by installing baths, inside water closets and hot water systems in the last 12 months to a convenient date and within the last five years.

Mr. MacColl

The details in respect of 1967 for county and London boroughs are as follows. I regret that similar details for previous years are not readily available.
