HC Deb 24 February 1981 vol 999 cc346-7W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the total of new town and local authority-owned houses in Wales; and what proportion of those were found to be unfit for human habitation in the last housing condition survey.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

At the end of December 1979 there were 308,000 new town and local authority-owned dwellings in Wales. The 1976 Welsh house condition survey found that 1 per cent. of dwellings in these categories were unfit. Many of these dwellings were acquired for the purpose of rehabilitation or under slum clearance schemes.
