Lee. who has been acting as Under-Secretary in charge of Housing since the inception of the State housing scheme, will become attached to Mr Armstrong instead of to the Hon. W.

He said Mr Armstrong and Mr Lee would carry on the work with whatever staff was necessary. There was much more to be done in housing than ever before.
