Mr J.B. Jeyaretnam asked the Minister for National Development if he will furnish a list of all properties of the Housing and Development Board occupied by the People's Action Party as education centres, giving their addresses and terms of occupation.

Mr Teh Cheang Wan: The Housing and Development Board does not rent any education centres to the People's Action Party.

The HDB has a total of 151 education centres let out on monthly tenancy to the Advisers of Citizens Consultative Committees. Rentals for the centres are kept low so that the CCCs and other grassroots organisations can offer residents low-cost or even free educational and community services. For example, kindergarten fees are charged at nominal rates to enable even the lowest income group to send their children to kindergarten classes.

The centres are listed in Annexure A. (Cols. 1023 - 1030). Annexure A - EDUCATION CENTRES (Cols. 1023 - 1030)
