§ Mr. Nicholas Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the latest estimate of the total number of people on local authority housing waiting lists in Wales; and how this compares with the figures in 1973 and 1974.
§ Mr. John MorrisNo figures are available for 1973. In 1974, as my hon. Friend the Member for Merthyr Tydfil (Mr. Rowlands) informed the House, it was estimated that there were up to 50,000 applicants on council house waiting lists in Wales. Housing authorities will shortly be asked to supply similar figures for 1975.—[Vol. 878, c.434.]
