70. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the extent to which adequate existing housing stock has been identified throughout the country in areas most affected by the severe housing crisis with a view in the short term to meeting the most immediate needs by way of a public housing programme; if further consideration can or has been given to the need to build up a land bank to meet the future housing needs of those already on the local authority housing lists and those likely to come on to such lists for a variety of reasons; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
