asked the Minister of Health how many homes consist today of disused Army or other huts; how many such huts were similarly used in 1948 and 1949; and whether he will state his policy for averting the accelerating deterioration of these units of accommodation.

In reply to the first two parts of the Question I would refer the hon. Member to the quarterly Housing Returns. As regards the last part, repairs of the huts are carried out as necessary.
