Minister of State at the Department of the Environment (Mr. Stagg)

Housing authorities were directed on 7 December, 1992 that an assessment be undertaken under section 9 of the Housing Act, 1988 to establish the need for local authority housing existing at 31 March, 1993. The results of the assessment are to be reported to my Department not later than 30 April 1993 and the results will be published as soon as possible after that.
