§ 60. Mr. Durantasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are his estimates of the average degree of under-occupation in (a) private sector houses and (b) public sector houses.
§ Mr. StanleyThe concept of "under-occupation" is too imprecise for useful numerical estimates to be produced. However, the national dwelling and housing survey, copies of which are in the Library, contains information on the numbers of households living above the bedroom standard, in both public and private sectors (table 2, page 27), and on the proportion of those who consider they have too many rooms (table 9, page 34).
