andMr. Boland asked the Minister for the Environment his policy on the number of bedrooms which should be provided in council houses.
Written Answers. - Local Authority Housing.
424.
It is a matter for each local authority to determine the number of bedrooms to be provided in local authority houses within its functional area having particular regard to the sizes of families on the authority's housing list.
However, local authorities are recommended to provide not less than 10 per cent of their overall housing output in the form of special dwellings suitable for small families, including the elderly.
425.
andMr. Boland asked the Minister for the Environment the number of local authority houses completed in each local authority area in 1976 and 1980; and the number of people on the housing list in each local authority at the latest available date and at the equivalent date four years ago.
