asked the Minister for the Environment the number of people on the housing list of each housing authority on 31 March 1983, or the latest date for which figures are available; and whether this information can be supplied in the quarterly bulletin of housing statistics published by his Department.
Written Answers. - Local Authority Housing Lists.
The number of approved applicants on the housing list of each housing authority at 31 October 1982 (the latest date for which this information is available) is set out below. Details of the number of applicants on each housing authority's waiting list for local authority houses are sought annually from the housing authorities. I intend to consider the question of publishing these details in appropriate editions of my Department's Quarterly Bulletin of Housing Statistics.
