Feb 25 - Government Criticises GSD Housing Complaints
Last week, the GSD Opposition urged the Government to reveal exactly how many Government rental properties will be provided during their first term. The Government has today responded by noting that the housing projects announced to date will cater for approximately 950 flats, about 140 of which have been earmarked for rental.
A Government statement released today added, ‘the exact number will be known once the tenders have been awarded and the exact room composition is known. The Government have announced five housing projects and put three of them to tender in only 14 months. It took the GSD ten years to get to this position. Therefore their continuous nitpicking on these issue lacks any credibility.’
Following the Opposition’s criticism of the Government’s willingness to consider offering NaPro Technology to couples struggling to conceive, the Government insists that they make no apology for having introduced IVF. They also add that this method may not be accepted by some couples, so they are willing to provide and alternative.
