b. Smoke Control Areas
The Order for No. 14 Smoke Control Area was made in July
1967 and confirmed by the Minister on the 13th December, 1967.
The date of operation is the 1st October, 1968.
Details of the area are as follows:
Dwellings (erected before 1964)
(a) Privately owned 9,240
(b) Local Authority owned 538
Industrial Premises 19
Commercial Premises 413

It was estimated that the cost of replacing and adapting
existing fireplaces would be £160,000 and £3,650 for privttely
and Local Authority owned dwellings respectively, of which the
Exchequer contribution would be £65,802, and the cost to the
local authority would be £50,447.
I give below a complete picture of the number of claims
dealt with in the areas in operation, (the figures for Areas No.
