§ 38. Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the approximate number of rented dwellings in England and Wales built before 1914; and what percentage this represents of current housing stock.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergFigures are not available in relation to dwellings built before 1914, but it is estimated that in England at the end of 1977 about 1¾ million households, or about 10 per cent. of the total, were living in rented dwellings built before 1919. I refer the hon. Member to the Secretary of State for Wales for information as regards Wales.
