§ Mr. James Lamondasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many houses in the Oldham Metropolitan Borough are classed as unfit due to their having no inside toilet or no bathroom, or both; and if he will give figures for each category separately.
§ Mr. ArmstrongDetailed information on house condition within individual areas is not collected or held by my Department. A survey published last year by the Greater Manchester Council estimated that there were some 7,100 unfit dwellings in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham. About 15,100 dwellings lacked an inside toilet; 13,000 lacked a bathroom.
