HC Deb 11 March 1992 vol 205 cc518-9W
Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has on the number of empty(a) public and (b) private properties for each district of Devon.

Mr. Yeo

Local authorities report the number of their own dwellings which are empty and estimates of empty dwellings owned by housing associations, by other public sector landlords, and by the private sector in their annual housing investment programme—HIP1—returns. "Other public sector" includes dewllings situated in the local authority area but owned by another local authority.

The latest available figures, for April 1991, are in columns A71, A72, A73 and A74, respectively, of the "1991 HIP1 All Items Print". A copy is in the Library.
