HC Deb 23 November 1987 vol 123 c38W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will provide his best estimate, by local authority area, of the number of homes in multiple occupation and the number of people living in them.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Statistics, by local authority area, on the number of houses in multiple occupation and the number of people living in them are not available and there exist no reliable figures on which to base up-to-date estimates.
