§ Mr. Roseasked the Minister of Public Building and Works whether he is aware that unoccupied prefabricated houses, details of which have been sent to him, still remain in the Victoria Avenue East area, Moston; and what action he will take to secure their speedy demolition.
§ Mr. BoydenOf the 58 houses still remaining in the Victoria Avenue East 38 are now unoccupied. 31 of these houses have been sold, but the purchasers have not so far removed their property. We are taking urgent steps to ensure that the contractors fulfil their obligations. Tenders have been invited for the purchase of the remaining seven houses, and arrangements for more frequent inspection of this site by the Ministry have been made.
