The Survey in Wembley was carried out on the lines
as suggested by the Minister of Health in his Memorandum
B The Prevention and Abatement of Overcrowding, and was
commenced in December, 1935, and completed by the 31st
March, 1936.
Two men who had been previously unemployed were
engaged to obtain the information on Form A, and in every
case where overcrowding was found to exist definitely or
was suspected, a visit was paid to the house by one of your
Sanitary Inspectors, who then completed Form B.
For your information I may say that Form B gives a
far greater amount of detail than does Form A and includes
the measurements of all the rooms in the house, and also
gives the number of persons permitted to occupy the house
as set out in Table II in the earlier part of this report.
