HC Deb 28 February 1946 vol 419 c430W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War how many houses have been built and are in course of construction for our service personnel on the Continent of Europe; what is the total number of new houses aimed at for the purpose of the occupation of enemy countries; and how many building trade operatives in our Forces are being employed on such operations.

Mr. Lawson

I am not clear whether my hon. Friend has in mind the accommodation required for troops, which is normally in the form of barracks or hutted camps, or whether he is referring to quarters for married families. In either case the information asked for is not readily available, and could not be obtained without a considerable amount of research..
