HC Deb 01 April 1976 vol 908 cc530-1W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has as to the number of closing orders made under Section 60 of the Housing Act 1969.

Mr. Armstrong

The Department does not collect statistics about closing orders made under this section, which only applies to those houses in multiple occupation where means of escape from fire cannot be provided at reasonable cost.
