§ Mr. Andersonasked the Secretary of State for Wales what increase on Office of Population Censuses and Surveys projections he estimates in the number of households in Wales by the year 2001; and if he will make a statement on the implications for housing policy.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsIt is estimated that between 1985 and 2001 the number of private households in Wales will increase by approximately 100,000. The total number of private households by 2001 is now projected to be less than the figure underpinning the assessment of housing need which I gave the hon. Gentleman in my answer on 22 October 1984 at column 428. We are considering the implications.
