Ministry's Circular No.3/62 in which the Minister advised that only houses of
a squalid nature which are let in multiple occupation should receive attention
for the time being, although plans should be made as to the future survey of
houses let in multiple occupation which do not come in this category.
During the year 2 houses let in multiple occupation have been dealt with
successfully by the Department, and again following the Minister's requirements
that every effort should be made to effect improvement without resort
to Statutory Action, in each of these premises a full measure of success has
been achieved by informal action.
Already negotiations have taken place with several owners of properties
in the Borough with a view to providing proper amenities and facilities in
houses let in multiple occupation which are not in a squalid condition.
