§ Mr. Braineasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what consideration the Cyprus Government have given to providing prefabricated buildings to replace houses which were irreparably damaged or destroyed in the recent earthquake.
§ Mr. LytteltonThe Cyprus Government have arranged to supply the basic structure of a new house, free of charge, to those in need of assistance whose houses were completely destroyed or damaged beyond repair in the recent earthquake. By prefabricating in large numbers the components of the basic structure, the Cyprus Government hope to be able to provide up to 2,500 units before the end of the year.
399WThe Government will also give each householder building materials to the value of £10, to assist him to carry out further work on the prefabricated basic structures. Hon. Members may be interested in further details of these structures, and I am arranging for the plans and photographs furnished to me by the Cyprus Government to be placed in the Library.
