I am not so aware. Inspection of cottages is carried out by Departmental Inspectors for the purpose of advising me in regard to appeals received against the state of repair of cottages at the time they are vested in the tenants. On the determination of an appeal, the responsibility for carrying out the further repairs, if any, required by such determination rests with the housing authority.
