Current Housing Demand: Discussion (Resumed)

3:05 pm

Mr. Michael Layde:

The answer to the question is that they will be treated the same as all other social tenants. Once their need is established, it will have to continue to be met by the local authority and they will have the same options to move within the local authority sphere and, ultimately, even to purchase their own homes.
