asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware of the serious housing problem which prevails in Trinidad; whether any vigorous action is being taken to meet it; whether any attempt is being made to use valuable local building materials; and to what extent existing building restrictions will be relaxed?

I recently asked the Governor for a report on housing, which I am still awaiting. I am asking the Governor to include in his report information as to the use which is being made of local building material.
