Tom Cox: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what percentage of households in the Greater London area were lacking the use of a hot water supply according to the 2001 Census; [199677] (2) what percentage of households within the Greater London area were lacking the use of a bathroom according to the 2001 Census. [199678] Mr. Timms: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply. Letter from Karen Dunnell to Mr. Tom Cox, dated 30 November 2004: The National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales has been asked to reply to your recent questions to the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking: 1. what percentage of households in the Greater London area were lacking the use of a hot water supply according to the 2001 Census (199677) 2. what percentage of households in the Greater London area were lacking the use of a bathroom according to the 2001 Census (199678) I am replying in his absence. A question about the availability of a hot water supply was not asked in the 2001 Census and consequently no figures are available. In the 2001 Census respondents were asked whether they had sole use of a bath, shower or toilet for their household as opposed to whether they lacked the use of a bathroom altogether. On Census day (29 April 2001) 1.06% of households in the London Government Office Region (GOR) were without the sole use of a bath, shower or toilet. That figure includes households with shared access and households with no access. The London GOR is equivalent to the administrative area of the Greater London Authority covering the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London. The figures have been extracted from Table UV60 on the Census 2001--Census Area Statistics (CAS) for Output Areas, wards and higher administrative geographies in England and Wales DVD, which is available in the House of Commons library.
