16. Captain FABERasked what it cost to build the ten houses at Tidworth 759 barracks, known as New Terrace, and what the rent has been fixed at for each house; whether the huts, known as Staff Colony and at present occupied by officers, were the huts originally occupied by the workmen who built the barracks; what price was paid for these huts when taken over by the War Office; and what rents are charged to officers for single and double huts?
§ Colonel SEELYThe estimated cost of the ten houses amounts to £10,450, and the rent has been fixed at 6 per cent. of the total capital cost of construction. The huts known as Staff Colony were originally occupied by the contractors' workmen, but were adapted by the firm for letting to officers. The War Department purchased these huts at a cost of £600, and are letting them to officers at £30 a year for a single, and £50 a year for a double hut.
