§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many dwellings in Wales required repairs costing £7,000 or more, at 1981 prices, in each year from 1976 to 1981; and what is the number for today at 1981 prices.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsInformation relating to the cost of repairing dwellings is collected in Welsh house condition surveys which are conducted on a periodic basis. The number of dwellings requiring repairs costing more than £7,000—at 1981 prices—was estimated at 33,000 for 1976 and 66,000 for 1981. The 1981 Welsh house condition survey excluded second homes.
