Thank you, Mr Speaker. I do not have that information on hand, but it is information that a number of departments are working on. The Departments of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs and of Human Settlements are working on matters dealing with informal settlements.
This is a matter that we discuss all the time. Even today, in Cabinet, we were discussing that issue in relation to some of the old laws that still exist and need to be dealt with. This is a challenge facing all of us; one which we believe we are tackling.
We were discussing some of the exigencies that are there and we have been responsible for dealing with these matters, in a sense. So, government is looking at this very seriously. We are very concerned, because there are a number of factors that lead to the growth of informal settlements. New information shows that instead of them decreasing, they are increasing, for a variety of reasons. But, I do not have comprehensive information in my hands at the moment. [Applause.]
