§ Mr. Kirkwoodasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish in the Official Report a list of local authorities with Orlit or Orlit-type houses in their area, showing total numbers of houses, numbers demolished, numbers on which remedial work has started, and numbers still awaiting attention, for each local authority.
§ Mr. TraceyI refer the hon. Member to the information deposited in the Library in July, in reply to the hon. Member for Leeds, (Mr. Meadowcroft) on 7 July 1986 at columns35–36; this gives, for each local authority in England, the reported number of dwellings of each type designated under the housing defects legislation. It shows that some 87 authorities reported having Orlit houses in their area, amounting in total to some 8,000 dwellings. Information is not held centrally on the number of Orlit dwellings demolished, awaiting demolition or on which remedial work has started.
