Representatives of more than 350 families today turned up at

the Squatter Contral Office at Tung Tau Estate and at the Kowloon Bay

Licensed Area Office to have their claims processed. A number of claims

are still being investigated.

A spokesman for the Housing Department said more than 100 families

comprising about 500 people have been weeded out as imposters as a result

of Wodnesdays site identification and today's processing.

"Apart from this, we have also been successful in checking out

nearly 100 overclaiming cases," he said. "These families overclaimed

in order to get a bigger site and receive more cash grant,"
