HC Deb 19 July 1995 vol 263 c1406W
22. Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many homes in Lancashire require major renovation to bring them up to acceptable standards. [33395]

Mr. Clappison

On the basis of the data from the most recent returns, it is estimated that 55,000 dwellings in Lancashire were statutorily unfit on 1 April 1994. However, more than a third of these could be made fit by the owners at relatively little expense.
