No decision has been made in regard to the number of new houses which each housing authority will be permitted to commence after 1st April, 1966, in the present year. When the housing capital allocations were being notified, housing authorities were asked to decide the works which they would undertake on the basis of these allocations and were informed that a general re-appraisal of the situation would be made later this year in regard to any works which it was not possible to release on this basis.

NOTES:

* A number of the dwellings included in Column (1) are also included in Column (2) as proposals involving both tenders and loans are before the Department.

†Information is not available in the form requested by the Deputy in regard to the number of houses at plans sanctioned and near tender stage. The particulars set out in Columns (3) and (4) represent the nearest available information.
