§ Ms Oona KingTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister what definition of the terms(a) living room, (b) sitting room and (c) lounge exists in legislation. [89549]
§ Mr. McNultyAs regards Part X of the Housing Act 1985, which specifies the overcrowding standards, the term "living room" is used without definition to describe a room, other than a bedroom, that may be regarded as sleeping accommodation, subject to normal practice in the locality, for the purposes of determining whether a dwelling is overcrowded. The other terms mentioned by my hon. Friend are not used in Part X.
