HC Deb 18 March 1976 vol 907 c591W
Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has on the proportion of the public sector housing stock which is suitable for single-person households.

Mr. Armstrong

In England and Wales it is estimated that 15 per cent. of the total stock of dwellings owned by local authorities and new towns have one bedroom. This includes dwellings specifically designed for occupation by the elderly which may not be suitable for general use.
