Richard Bruton
Ceist:121 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that some local authorities have ruled that no person who is a house owner can apply for the recently announced scheme of improvement works in lieu of local authority housing regardless of how overcrowded or substandard facilities in the house may be; and whether this is consistent with his proposals in the Plan for Social Housing and in particular page 35, paragraph 3 where reference is made to the eligibility of home owners.
