PENSIONER HOUSING
The lack of pensioner housing in Christchurch was becoming “increasingly desperate,” the member of Parliament for Lyttelton (Mr T. M. McGuigan) said this week. Mr McGuigan said that the decision by the Minister of Health (Mr McKay) to reconvene an inter-departmental committee on pensioner housing was “procrastination of the worst type and can only aggravate the situation in Christchurch.” “The attitude of the Government is completely unreasonable, especially when bne realises that not one pensioner unit was built in the city during the last financial year,” said Mr McGuigan.
