War Damage.
The criterion by which the success or otherwise of the department's
efforts in dealing with the repair of war-damaged bouses
must be judged, is the contribution which such repairs have made
towards the maintenance or provision of houses for the general
needs of the community. Defence of the Realm Regulations do
not permit the setting out in precise detail the progress made, but
it is significant that at the end of the year 1943, there were only
8 seriously damaged houses which had not been repaired or were
not in the process of being repaired.
