C. A. WHARTON (Burnett—Minister for Works and Housing) (11.1 a.m.), by leave: Yesterday in this House I answered a number of questions from the member for Chatsworth (Mr Mackenroth). Those questions dealt with the application of the new rental assessment scheme to various tenancies. In answering the questions, I misunderstood one question and therefore gave an incorrect answer. The answer I gave to another question may also have been misunderstood, so I take this opportunity to clarify the matter. Mr Mackenroth asked, in general, if the new scheme would be applied to people such as pubUc servants and employees of mining companies who are renting housing provided through the Housing Commission. The answer is that they will not be affected by the new scheme unless they are direct tenants of the Housing Commission, and the vast majority of them are not. The vast majority of those people are living in _ employer tenancy buildings, buildings provided under a separate and quite distinct scheme from that of welfare housing.
