4. Questions to Ministers without notice - The Minister for Housing The Bailiff :
Very well, that brings questions on notice to an end, so we come then to questions without notice and the first period is to the Minister for Housing. Does any Member have any question? Yes, Deputy Young?
4.1 Deputy J.H. Young:
Can the Minister advise the Assembly whether he is going to be in a position to provide the Island Plan review inquiry that is shortly to take place with the information on the requirement for over-55 housing throughout the Island? I ask because I am aware there are a number of sites being put forward which depend on that, and I would like the Minister to tell us whether he is able to make sure the information is provided.
Deputy A.K.F. Green (The Minister for Housing):
At the end of September this year, through the Housing Gateway - that is the system by which people who are residentially qualified can get on to the Social Housing Waiting List - there were 764 homes required at the end of September. Of that, to answer Deputy Young's question, 288 are applicants from over-55 year-olds, so I have that information.
The Bailiff :
Does any other Member wish to ask a question of the Minister? Very well, we bring the questions to the Minister for Housing to an end. [Laughter] [Approbation]
