Mr. Atkins

Mr. John D. Taylor

Mr. Atkins

I am advised by the Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive that at 3 December no owner-occupiers in the Newtownbreda/Belvoir estate had taken up the executive's offer to carry out repairs and consequently no householders had assigned their compensation rights.

A total of 428 privately owned homes were damaged.
