Written Answers. - House Inspection Delays.

While delays have occurred in relation to certain categories of grants, I do not accept that there is an overall delay of four months. I have made arrangements to double the total number of inspectors engaged on grant inspection work. Thirty-seven new temporary inspectors have already taken up duty and a further 27 are in course of being recruited. The deployment of inspectors is kept under continuous review to take account of inspection requirements in various locations.
