HC Deb 24 January 1973 vol 849 c193W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will have consultations with the housing executive to arrange that members of the Ulster Defence Regiment living in dangerous areas should be given priority points on rehousing.

Mr. Peter Mills

All applicants who can show that they are in danger arising out of conditions in the area in which they live are treated as emergency cases by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive and as such receive priority without reference to points. Each case is considered on its merits, and I do not think that there are grounds for giving priority to any group of people in the community.
