To answer this question in its current form the Department of Housing and Works would require extensive resources and I am not prepared to allocate the resources required to collate the information sought. However should the Hon Member have a specific matter to which he refers I would only be too pleased to provide the information. LAND INFORMATION DEPARTMENT ( 1) Nil (2-6) Not applicable.
