HC Deb 11 May 1971 vol 817 cc90-1W
Mr. Moyle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate his Department has made, by extrapolation from the National Condition of Property Survey figure of 1,800,000 slums in the country as a whole, of the number of slums in Greater London.

Mr. Amery

The sample used in the 1967 House Condition Sample Survey was too small to provide a sufficiently accurate estimate of the number of unfit dwellings in Greater London.

Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate his Department has made of the likely number of slums requiring clearance in Greater London, following the completion of the 1970 to 1973 programmes submitted to his predecessor by the Greater London Council and the London Boroughs.

Mr. Amery

No accurate estimate can be made on the information available.
