HC Deb 16 March 1987 vol 112 c380W
Mr. Mallon

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what percentage of those on the housing waiting list in the south region are on the priority list; and how many of these have families.

Mr. Needham

This is a matter for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. I understand from the chief executive that, at 28 February 1987, 8.04 per cent. of applicants on the housing waiting list in the south region were on the priority list. Details of how many applicants on the priority list had families are not readily available.
