§ Mr. Alasdair MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what single bed accommodation there is at Macrahanish Airport; and how many married quarters there are. [145124]
§ Dr. MoonieThe former RAF Machrihanish has been passed to Defence Estates, which has responsibility for disposal of MOD surplus property. There are 172 single bedrooms within purpose built modern buildings and a further 121 spaces in older accommodation. In parallel with disposal action, MOD is currently considering whether there is any alternative military use for which the site might be suitable.
The former Married Quarters estate was sold in September 2000 and therefore no Service Families Accommodation remains in MOD hands.
