Viscountess ASTORasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware of the hardship which falls on married men employed at Dartmouth College, who, owing to the housing shortage, have been unable to find accommodation for their families at Dartmouth are obliged in consequence to maintain two homes and whether he will consider the possibility of erecting cottages is married quarters for college employes and their families?
Mr. DAVIDSONI regret the hardship suffered by the employes at Dartmouth owing to the shortage of houses, but I am afraid that no departure from the general principle governing the housing of Admiralty civilian employes could be justified. As the Noble Lady is aware, the responsibility for housing is one for the Ministry of Health.
