Comment on this
I am aware of certain problems with the firm named. There is no record in my Department of applications for housing grants from this firm but applications were received from a number of persons who arranged for houses to be built by the firm. Such grants are payable to the individuals concerned if they are eligible and the houses are completed to grant standards.
