HC Deb 03 March 1976 vol 906 cc634-5W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the number of empty council houses in each housing authority in Wales.

Mr. Alec Jones

The latest DOE/ Welsh Office re-let survey indicates that on 31st December 1974 about 0–2 per cent, of local authority housing revenue account dwellings in Wales were vacant and available for letting. A further 0–3 per cent, were vacant undergoing modernisation, repair or conversion. Information is collected on the basis that the returns of individual authorities will be aggregated and not published separately.
