HC Deb 11 July 1972 vol 840 c305W
64. Mr. Duffy

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will undertake a study of the number of old people whose varied accommodation needs are met by local authority housing services in order to assist in the preparation of advice to local authorities on this matter.

Mr. Eyre

Many studies have already been carried out into the housing of elderly people and advice given to local authorities in this field. More up to date information about such housing is coming in, notably from the 1971 Census. This will help us to assess what more needs to bedone.
