§ Sir V. WarrenderNone of the families living in unsatisfactory conditions is on the married quarters roll. It is understood that 16 families who are not entitled to public quarters under the regulations are living under private arrangements in accommodation which falls below desirable standards.
1361WI would add that a number of new married quarters is being built at Bovington for entitled families, and this will release certain quarters which it may be possible to make available for unentitled families if they desire to rent them.
