HC Deb 14 March 1956 vol 550 cc367-8
31 and 32. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Air (1) how many houses have been built at Church Law-ford Station in the new married quarters and the total cost incurred;

(2) why the Royal Air Force School of Photography and the Airfield Construction Unit were moved from Church Law-ford to Wellesbourne Mountford; and the amount spent on new married quarters there.

The Secretary of State for Air (Mr. Nigel Birch)

The only unit which has been moved from Church Lawford to Wellesbourne Mountford is the Airfield Construction Depot. This move has resulted in a saving of about £250,000 on the repair of technical buildings. Sixty-four married quarters have been built at Church Lawford and 106 are to be built at Wellesbourne Mount-ford. It would be contrary to established Government practice to quote contract prices.
