HOUSING SURVEY IN APRIL
The Research and Statistics Section of the Housing Department
will start surveys on public and private housing conditions this April
in co-operation with the Census and Statistics Department.
"This Section started work last August, to supplement the very
useful work being done by the Social and Housing Section of the Consus and
Statistics Department in assembling data on public and private housing,"
the Secretary for Housing, the Hon. Ian Lightbody, told council in answor
to a question from the Hon. Hilton Cheong-Leen.
"The initial effort will concentrate on basic information needed
+
to up-date the 10-Year Public Housing target," said Mr. Lightbody. It
will at the same time gauge the tenants' opinions on the various aspects
of estate life and estate amenities.
The Research and Statistics Section has been in close touch with
the Chinese University, post-secondary colleges and a prominent welfare
organisation.
It has also brought about exchange of housing data and co-uporation
in social surveys carried out by these institutions, Mr. Lightbody said.
