HC Deb 21 April 1983 vol 41 cc153-4W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any information as to how many temporary prefabricated houses built after the second world war have been demolished and, of the remainder, how many are still used for housing purposes.

Mr. Stanley

The relevant statistical return was discontinued after 1975 at which time, of the approximately 125,000 temporary prefabricated houses erected between 1945 and 1948 in England and Wales under the Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act 1944, some 15,000 were then in use.
