§ Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many local authority post-war dwellings have been demolished in each of the last 10 years.
§ Mr. Stanley[pursuant to his reply, 26 May 1982, c. 326]: Information on the age of demolished local authority dwellings is not available. Information on demolitions in slum clearance areas is published in "Housing and Construction Statistics", a copy of which is in the Library, but these figures do not distinguish between dwellings in local authority ownership or not.
Within the total dwellings demolished not in clearance areas, the following are estimated to have been in local authority ownership:
