§ 11. Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Minister of Public Building and Works how many new married quarters he proposes to start for the Armed Forces during the next financial year; and for how many of these houses sites are not yet available.
§ Mr. BoydenAbout 3,850 quarters are due to be started in 1965–66. Two sites are not yet available, but negotiations for these should be completed in time for building to start during that year.
§ Mr. DigbyIn that case, will the Parliamentary Secretary give an undertaking that he will press on with this work as soon as possible?
§ Mr. BoydenYes. The two sites in question are at Boulmer, in Northumberland, for 46 married quarters and at Saxa Vord, in the Shetlands, where 44 married quarters are to be built, and these should present no difficulty.
§ Mr. SnowIs my hon. Friend aware that nothing condemns the previous Administration more than their utter neglect of the interests of married couples in the Services?
