HC Deb 29 February 1972 vol 832 c102W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the estimated total of houses in Wales which are unfit for human habitation.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Local authorities estimate that there are 24,000 unfit houses in Wales, but the Welsh House Condition Survey of 1968 suggested that there were then about 42,000 houses in clearance or potential clearance areas which should be regarded as unfit.
