§ 65. Mr. Leonardasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many council dwellings in Greater London were vacant at the most recent available date, and how many were vacant at the comparable date in 1967; and what proportions these represented of the total council housing stock in Greater London.
§ Mr. ChannonThis information is not available in the Department and the hon. Member may wish to approach the G.L.C. and the London boroughs direct. I am, 331W however, concerned that local authorities, particularly in London, should make temporary use, wherever possible, of empty housing awaiting redevelopment.
