Additional information was also extracted and forwarded to the
London County Council at a later stage regarding the tenants on their
estates found in overcrowded conditions, and also those occupying
accommodation considerably in excess of their requirements.
Subsequently, in the early part of 1936, various further tables were
completed showing the estimated number of houses required to abate
the overcrowding disclosed as the result of the Survey.
The final analysis of these tables can be summarised in the following statement:—
Additional dwellings required on the standard of Table I in the First Schedule to the 1935 Act (Table F) | Additional dwellings required on the standard of 1½ persons a room (using the percentages in Table G) | |||||||||
