HC Deb 29 January 1985 vol 72 cc104-25W
Mr. Pike

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will list in the Official Report the number of non-standard dwellings in need of renovation in each housing authority in England and indicate the percentage this represents of total housing stock in each case;

(2) if he will list in the Official Report the number of dwellings fit but lacking basic amenities in each housing authority area in England and indicate the percentage this represents of total housing stock in each case;

(3) if he will list in the Official Report the number of unfit dwellings in each housing authority area in England and indicate the percentage this represents of total housing stock in each case.

Sir George Young

Local authorities' 1984 housing investment programme returns included, for 1 April, their estimates of defective dwellings in their areas. Numbers reported are not necessarily comparable, as authorities' criteria may differ and in total they are not consistent with estimates from English House Condition Survey of 1981.

The figures reported are as follows:
