HC Deb 11 May 1987 vol 116 c77W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimates he has of the total number of households on waiting lists for each local authority in each year from 1979 to 1986.

Mr. Tracey

The numbers of households on waiting lists at 1 April 1986 and the changes in numbers since I April 1985 were provided by English local authorities in their 1986 housing investment programme returns. These figures appear in columns B51 and B53, respectively, of the "HIP1 (1986) All Items Print" which is in the Library.

Information for earlier years is not available centrally.
