HC Deb 20 March 1995 vol 257 c93W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 13 March,Official Report, column 446, if he will publish his estimate of the extent of unmet housing need in terms of housing condition, population growth and housing location. [14575]

Mr. Redwood

Local housing authorities are responsible for assessing housing need. The 1991 census showed that there were more household spaces than households in Wales. I expect to publish the 1992-based household projections for the counties of Wales on 5 April 1995. These will inform local estimates of housing need. Local housing authorities also have available the results of the 1993 Welsh house condition survey, which I published last September.
