HC Deb 10 May 1976 vol 911 c38W
Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the rate of car ownership per household in Great Britain in 1975, broken down by region.

Dr. Gilbert

Figures are given below.

Region Cars per 100 Households
1975
Northern 63
Yorks and Humberside 59

East Anglia 85
South Eastern 79
South Western 85
West Midland 79
North Western 61
England 74

The figures are not comparable with those given in previous years, because of changes in planning region boundaries and revisions to estimates of the number of households in each region.
