Mr. W. Joseph Stewart
asked the Minister of Health the percentage of overcrowding in England and Wales, county by county?
Mr. E. Brown
Owing to large-scale movements during the war, up-to-date figures are not available. The latest particulars are contained in the survey for the year 1936, and as a large tabular statement is involved I will, with permission, send my hon. Friend a copy.
Mr. Sorensen
Is the Minister aware that there is grave overcrowding in some parts of the country, which will be much worse before the end of the war and tragic when the war has finished?
Mr. Brown
In cases of overcrowding due to transferring war workers we have made special postal surveys.
