Minister of Housing and Urban Development David Lee says he is already “swamped with requests” for housing.

He said this only shows that the demand for housing in Trinidad and Tobago currently far exceeds supply.

Speaking after arriving at the ministry’s head office at South Quay, Port-of-Spain, yesterday, where he met with Minister in the Ministry of Housing Anil Roberts and other senior officials, Lee said he was ready to get down to business.
