QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the recent announcement by Mr McGinty regarding unflued gas heaters and possible health problems, and I ask -
(1) Does the Government accept that a problem exists for the elderly, pregnant women and young children?
(2) How many unflued gas heaters are currently installed in Homeswest properties?
(3) Is it the Government’s intention to correct this issue?
(4) If yes to (3), what will be done and when will it occur?
