HC Deb 27 July 1964 vol 699 c999
36. Commander Courtney

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works when it is intended to replace the temporary wartime Nissen hut in which the officers' mess at St. Mawgan Royal Air Force station is at present accommodated.

Mr. Sharples

A contract for the construction of a new officers' mess at St. Mawgan was let last May and work should be completed in August, 1965.

Commander Courtney

While paying every democratic tribute to the century of the common man, does not my hon. Friend agree that it is about time that the officers of this R.A.F. station did not have to wait more than 20 years to get out of their wartime accommodation?

Mr. Sharples

The new officers' mess is at present being built. We cannot do more than that.
