There are some fourteen local authority housing schemes which are under examination in my Department either at pre-tender stage or awaiting tender approval involving a total of over 500 dwellings. It is the case that in some instances further information is awaited from the local authority concerned before a final decision is made on a proposal. It is my Department's intention to convey decisions to local authorities on these schemes as soon as possible.
