MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION N0.1204

Housing Trust Properties - Subleasing

MR. CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -

Further to your reported comment (The Canberra Times, 19 February 1994) that you had recently directed that the practice of ACT Housing Trust sublets would cease -

(1) From what date will the practice cease.

(2) How many sub-lets will still be operating at that time.

(3) Why would an "extra clerk" be required in the Trust and in the

Treasury to process "the few matters of this type which would be

allowed in the future" when the Treasury already operates land tax

charges on private landlords and the Trust recently has acquired

ISIP.

MR. CONNOLLY - The answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) The instructions have already been issued.

(2) The information is not readily available. The preparation of a

precise answer would require the allocation of significant staffing

resources.

(3) There is clearly additional administrative work which therefore has

resource implications.
