§ Mr. Stephen Rossasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report the number of empty houses owned by each area health 104W authority covering the Greater London Area, the Greater Manchester Area, East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, Hampshire and Avon; how many of these houses have been empty for more than six months, one year and two years; and how many are surplus to the requirements of each area health authority.
§ Mr. MoyleI regret this information is not held centrally and to obtain it from the authorities concerned would entail disproportionate costs, but I will write to the hon. Member.
