STATE HOUSING
t MESSRS ARMSTRONG AND LEE ASSOCIATED. DESIRE TO EXPEDITE PROGRESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 21. Following the appointment of Mr H. T. Armstrong as Minister of Housing, Mr J. A. Lee, who has been acting as Under-Secretary in Charge of Housing since the inception of the State housing scheme, will become attached to Mr Armstrong instead of to Mr Nash, the former holder of this portfolio. This announcement was made by the Prime Minister (Mr Savage) today. He said that Messrs Armstrong and Lee would carry on the work with whatever staff was necessary. There was much more to be done in housing than ever before. The progress made had not been sufficient to reach the demand and they had to make greater efforts. That was the reason for the appointment of Mr Armstrong and he hoped both Messrs Armstrong and Lee would be fully occupied under that arrangement.
