	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2019 answer text <p>I would like all councils to celebrate their historic counties, and local events to mark Historic County Flags Day on 23 July would be an excellent way to do that. We will shortly be publishing guidance, a copy of which I sent earlier this year to the leaders of county councils and unitary counties, to help local authorities celebrate their counties’ proud histories and identities, including by celebrating Historic County Flags Day and the flying of Historic County Flags. I am also considering other ways in which we can raise the profile of Historic County Flags Day.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 14/06/2019 11:57:19 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

Official statistics on the number of households that are statutorily overcrowded are not routinely collected. According to the Department's English Housing Survey, in 2017-18, there were approximately 746,000 households living in overcrowded accommodation in England. This equates to 3 per cent of households.
