HC Deb 25 March 1970 vol 798 c426W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total number of slum houses demolished or closed in the five years 1960 to 1964, and the comparable figure for 1965 to 1969.

Mr. Ross

Complete figures for the last quarter of 1969 are not yet available, but the number of houses closed or demolished in the five years 1965 to 1969 is likely to be about 88,000, as against 62,569 in the previous five years.
