NOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTARIES
POLITICAL SITUATION
General
Minor and sporadic incidents have occurred from time
to time, but these have been of a purely spontaneous nature.
Emergency Regulations
The Emergency Regulations which were introduced in 1967
at the time of disturbances have been discontinued.
Confrontation Prisoners
There are 91 prisoners still serving sentences in respect
of offences committed during the disturbances in 1967.
A number of prisoners convicted of offences during the
1967 disturbances have had their prison sentences reduced as
part of a routine procedure for the review of sentences of
prisoners serving long terms.
HOUSING AND RESETTLEMENT
Squatters
On the face of it, little impact has been made on the
problem of the squatters, despite the large numbers of them
rehoused every year. This has been due to the continued
steady rate of immigration over the years, by a high birth
rate and by movement out of overcrowded pre-war tenements
into modern accommodation.
Rents
They
Rents for resettlement and low-cost housing provided by
Government and Government aided agencies vary according to
the age, type and size of the accommodation provided.
include water charges and rates where appropriate. Monthly
rates range from approximately 12/6d. to £6.58.
