HC Deb 27 November 1969 vol 792 c137W
Mr. Bryan

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many houses in the East Riding of Yorkshire have no internal water closet, no fixed bath, no hot water tap, and no cold water tap, respectively.

Mr. Freeson

Information from the 1966 sample census indicates that there were then 45,300 households in the East Riding of Yorkshire with no internal water closet, 33,390 without a fixed bath and 27,460 with no hot water tap.

Information about the presence of cold water taps was not collected in 1966, but according to the 1961 census 6,980 households lacked cold water taps at that time. This number will have been substantially reduced as a result of slum clearance and improvement.
