§ Mr. John MorrisThe results of the 1976 House Condition Survey will be published as soon as they are ready.
§ Mr. Wyn Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether the criteria whereby houses in Wales were declared unfit were the same for the housing condition surveys of 1968, 1973 and 1976; and, if not, how the criteria differed.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe definition of unfitness used in the 1968 House Condition Survey was that given in Section 4(1) of the Housing Act 1957. The definition used in the 1973 and 1976 Surveys was that given by the 1957 Act as amended by Section 71 of the Housing Act 1969.
