HC Deb 23 November 1971 vol 826 c347W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he hopes to publish the study of the housing needs of the handicapped now being planned.

Mr. Amery

The object of this study is to establish the extent to which the housing needs of the disabled can best be met by adapting a disabled person's existing dwelling. This is done by providing him either with a new house to Parker Morris standards or by providing him with a new dwelling specially designed for him. The study is still in its very early stages and it is too soon to say when it will be completed.
