43. The Department's work in relation to property research and market monitoring for Government policy purposes has increased significantly in the last few years. During 1995-96, the Department was heavily involved in providing such information to the Housing Branch and in the feasibility study of setting up an Integrated Housing Information System which will bring together comprehensive information on land supply, housing production and the property market to facilitate monitoring of territory-wide housing development. Input from Planning, Lands, Buildings, Housing and Inland Revenue and this Department, the Land Registry, and other policy branches has been co-ordinated by Housing Branch.
