HC Deb 12 December 1995 vol 268 c583W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what percentage of pensioner households lack central heating. [4551]

Mr. Clappison

An estimated 19 per cent. of households headed by a person over retirement age lacked central heating in England in 1994–95.

This estimate is from the 1994–95 survey of English housing. Like all estimates from surveys it is liable to sampling variability.
