Stale Housing
Sir,—Today, in the House the member for St Albans (Mr H. J. Walker) claimed credit for the National Party instituting the sale of State houses. Does he remember when one of hi* colleagues (Mr Algie) described these houses as haying been created out of "funny money” under Labour? Apparently this funny money has mysteriously changed into real money under National. The Nationalists further claim that the need for State houses has almost vanished. They overlook the fact (conveniently, of course) that this
state of affairs exist* mainly through Labour’s vigorous
building policy and reducing the rate of immigration. National has reversed this policy entirely, and by 1963, the incoming Labour Government will again be faced with a huge back-log to be got rid of.—Yours, etc., TOM BRYCE. October 6. 1961.
