HC Deb 08 December 1983 vol 50 c244W
19. Mr. William Ross

asked the Secretary of Sate for Northern Ireland when he now expects the demand for publicly owned housing for rent in Northern Ireland to be met.

Mr. Chris Patten

Housing is our top priority in the social and environmental programmes and we intend to ensure that recent progress is maintained; it is not possible to predict when demand in any sector will be met.
