Mr S. V. Lingam asked the Minister for Law and National Development whether he will consider arranging for the proper parking of vehicles in the car parks provided by the Housing and Development Board in the Macpherson Housing Estate.

Mr E. W. Barker: The Housing and Development Board has already provided space for car parking in the Macpherson Housing Estate.

Due to the delay in the provision of a proper market, hawkers have been plying in the car parks. In order to overcome this problem, the Housing and Development Board has erected covered cooked food stalls and open hawkers� pitches, and these are now ready for occupation. The hawkers will be moved into the pitches, and the car parks will then become clear for proper use for the parking of the vehicles.
