Hunn had told Nash that an accelerated Maori housing programme was ' ... one of the social imperatives of our time', and he gave a similar message to Hanan. Hunn was able to wrest from the government a greater share of the available housing resources, although this was some four years after Sullivan had first pointed out the necessity of an increased government commitment to Maori housing.

Hunn's analysis of the Department's housing programme concluded that the scheme was operating at less than half the speed required to eliminate the backlog of unsatisfactory houses and provide for the accruing demand: my own estimate is even smaller.
