HC Deb 23 May 1972 vol 837 cc350-1W
Mr. Molyneaux

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what system is used in the letting of publicly owned houses in those areas of Northern Ireland which are no longer under the control of Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Channon

The allocation of tenancies of all publicly owned houses in Northern Ireland is carried out on the basis of allocation schemes which have been approved by the Ministry of Development. For areas affected by disturbances normal letting procedures continue, but houses are occupied by squatters on occasions.
