HC Deb 26 January 1972 vol 829 c466W
138. Mr. Ronald King Murray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, for the latest available date, what is the estimated average number of adult residents per council house in Scotland; and what is the average number of adult residents per privately-rented unfurnished dwelling in Scotland.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The most recent available information, from a sample survey made in 1965, suggests that at that time on average, 2.4 persons aged 16 or over lived in each publicly owned house, and two in each private house rented unfurnished.
