MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Service -

(1) How many three bedroom houses were constructed from ACT Housing Trust Capital Works funds from the 1993-94 Budget.

(1) The Trust constructed 31 three-bedroom houses during 1993-94. .

(2)As of 30 June 1994, 18 per cent of households applying for public housing

were registered for three-bedroom houses. The 31 three-bedroom houses
