The Commissioners of Public Works have no responsibility in respect of this matter. I am advised by the Commissioners that they have not been requested by any other agency to assist in dealing with it. The provision of humanitarian aid where it is considered warranted is a matter for the Department of Social, Community and Family Affairs.
