Mr. McNamara: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what action is being taken by the Housing Executive to tackle homelessness caused by sectarian intimidation. [219327] Mr. Spellar: The Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) assists those who have become homeless as a result of sectarian intimidation by providing temporary accommodation and arranging for storage of possessions, as necessary. If the Police Service for Northern Ireland (PSNI) can confirm that intimidation has taken place, the Housing Executive will award the applicant the highest level of priority for re- housing. Owner-occupiers who have become homeless as a result of intimidation have the facility to sell their homes under the Housing Executive's Scheme for the Purchase of Evacuated Dwellings and tenants of rented property are entitled to an emergency grant of £692 when they are re-housed. While homelessness caused by sectarian intimidation is not a problem that can be tackled solely by the NIHE, the Housing Executive works, through its Community Cohesion Unit, to prevent such intimidation by promoting good relations between communities. The Housing Executive's strategic objective to promote good relations is linked to the following aims: to respond quickly and effectively to the needs of people in danger as a result of community conflict; to work in partnership with others to address the complex housing needs of a divided society; to respect the rights of people who choose to live in single identity neighbourhoods, and to facilitate and encourage integrated housing as far as this is practicable, desirable and safe.

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which posts, not including Housing Executive staff, are funded by the Housing Executive to assist local communities and residents' groups in each Northern Ireland constituency; who the occupants are of each post; what the length of service is in each case; and what the remuneration for each post is. [216845] Mr. Spellar: The name of the post holders and their length of service is personal data and constitutes exempt information under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and as such it would inappropriate to release it with out the consent of the postholder. However the following table provides the name of the organisation funded or partly funded by the Housing Executive during the 2004-05 financial year and the amount of funding paid by the Housing Executive. When organisations approach the Housing Executive for funding this normally covers more than just the salary. The amount of funding shown only includes costs paid by the Housing Executive that were associated with the post. The organisations are grouped by constituency based on the name of the group and/or the known area where it operates and compared with the names of the wards in that constituency. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
