Armed Forces Housing Loans Act

HC Deb 09 November 1964 vol 701 cc648-9

10. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what proposals he has for the renewal of the Armed Forces Housing Loans Act.

Mr. C. Pannell

I am considering whether the Act should be renewed.

Mr. Goodhart

Can the right hon. Gentleman give an assurance at this moment that the present considerable rate of building of married quarters will not be reduced?

Mr. Pannell

That does not really enter into the matter at all. [HoN.MEMBERS: "Yes."] No, what we are considering here, as the hon. Member for Beckenham (Mr. Goodhart) knows, is whether we shall proceed under legislation or by a different method. But, whatever happens, I can give the hon. Member the full assurance that there will be no diminution, whichever way we run it, in the building of married quarters.
