§ Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many disused houses there are on the former RAF Station at Bircham Newton, in the constituency of the hon. Member for King's Lynn; and if he will take steps to release them for use by the public.
§ Mr. ChannonThere are 72 married quarters at Bircham Newton, which the Ministry of Defence has just declared redundant, and all but one are empty. Our Property Services Agency will be starting on their disposal immediately. The possibility of other Government Department, statutory or local authority requirements for them, will have to be considered before they are offered for sale publicly by my Department.
