HC Deb 25 March 1986 vol 94 cc432-3W
Mr. Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many statutorily unfit dwellings there are in (a) the catchment area for Divis residents and (b) west Belfast as a whole.

Mr. Needham

[pursuant to his reply, 24 March 1986]: Information in the form requested is not readily available. However, the 1984 house condition survey established that 7 per cent. (or 1,262 dwellings) of dwellings in west Belfast were unfit for human habitation.
