QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOUSING COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 24th JUNE 2003, BY SENATOR P.V.F. LE CLAIRE

Question

Would the President inform members whether the Committee has information on the number of persons who have been resident for 15 years but who have not yet qualified under the Housing Regulations, and, if so, the numbers involved?

Answer

The best information that is available can be found in the 2001 census, and is contained in the appendix to the Committee's projet, along with the figures for the preceding 3 years. As can be seen the maximum number of heads of households who first arrived in 1988 and who could be eligible for a housing consent having completed 15 years continuous residence is 165.  This figure of 165 is of course in addition to the (maximum) 175 people who arrived in 1987 and who would qualify immediately, as a result of the Housing Committee's projet P67 (if approved), having completed 16 years' continuous residence.
