Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authority houses at present meet Parker Morris standards, firstly on all counts, and secondly in terms of space and heating only; what proportion are both these the total of current local authority housing stock; and how rent levels on average in both cases compare with those for dwellings that fall short of these standards.
