§ Mr. Bossomasked the Secretary of State for War when married quarters will be available in those permanent establishments and camps where at present none exist.
§ Mr. LawsonThe first instalment of a programme of permanent houses to make up existing deficiencies in other ranks' quarters has been initiated during this financial year. This programme includes a proportion of houses for static establishments as well as for camps definitely required for post-war use. It is also proposed to initiate a building programme for officers' married quarters as soon as opportunity offers. But shortages of labour and material naturally restrict the size of the Army's plans for the rehousing of married personnel.
