HC Deb 30 April 1980 vol 983 cc539-40W
Mr. Peter Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what percentage of the housing stock in (a) East Belfast, comprising Belfast district 2 and (b) Castlereagh, is publicly owned; and if he will give the figure for West Belfast, South Belfast and North Belfast.

Mr. Goodhart

I regret that this information is not readily available in the form requested. However, the Belfast household survey undertaken by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in 1978 indi- cated that the percentage of publicly owned dwellings in Belfast was as follows:

East Belfast 15 per cent.
West Belfast 50 " "
South Belfast 19 " "
North Belfast 29 " "

Information relating to Castlereagh district council area is not at present available, but will be shortly when the results of the Executive's 1979 house condition survey are published.
