The provision of services in Durban lagged behind with consequent delay in the provision of housing by the City Council and the Department.

Substantial amounts for the provision of services in many Durban areas have been made available and in urban renewal areas such as, e.g. Prospect Hall, Riverside, Brickfield-Hoosen and the Peripheral area, the Department itself has undertaken the installation of services.

Neither the City Council nor the Department dispose of exact statistics. The figures furnished are based on calculations.

Details of Wentworth are in respect of Coloureds in the Wentworth Coloured group area only.

Yes; but properties are acquired in most cases by agreement or voluntary offers.

Yes.

1. (a) Various bodies made representations direct to me, i.a. the Federated Chambers of Industries, A.S.S.A. Com., the Building Industries Federation; the Commercial Employers’ Associations; the Zululand Chamber of Commerce; Natal Chamber of Industries; the Federated Hotel Associations of South Africa, etc., and with which I am still negotiating. Private persons made representations for exemption direct to my Department. The representations of the last mentioned are filed on district files, and the information is thus not readily available.
2. (b) Employers making representations do not specifically state whether they employ Bantu or not.
3. (c) Figures are not available, but generally the representations reveal a spirit of co-operation and responsibility in connection with the principles of the proposed action.

1. (1) A survey of details pertaining to all the businesses situated in the Diagonal Street area, which was only proclaimed as a group area on the 4th December, 1970, is at present being carried out and final figures are not yet available. At the time of proclamation of the area there were, however, 317 Indian businesses.
2. (2) No evacuation notices have as yet been served to terminate occupation for business purposes and, subsequently, no alternative accommodation has been made available.
3. (3) No. It has as yet not been necessary to evacuate.

   (a) and (b) Fall away.

The answer to the question by the hon. member will necessitate perusal of all the permit files opened since 1950 and will be such a time-consuming task that it cannot be undertaken. In addition, applications for residential and business purposes are not kept separate.

It can be mentioned that, since the acceptance of the Group Areas Amendment Bill in 1961, an affected person need not necessarily vacate on a predetermined date if he is not in possession of a permit, as an evacuation notice must first be served on him. As a result, numerous affected traders can carry on with their businesses without a permit.

Yes.
