Sir G. DOYLE:

asked the Minister of Health the number of persons in the United Kingdom who own one house, and the number who reside in the same; how many such houses have been obtained through building societies or other thrift agencies; how many persons own two or three houses each; and whether the tendency towards such small ownership is most marked in large boroughs and cities or in small towns and rural areas?

I regret that the information desired by the hon. Member is not available.

Sir G. DOYLE:

Will the right hon. Gentleman obtain the information?

Obviously, if it is not available, I cannot obtain it.
