HC Deb 08 July 1947 vol 439 cc206-7W
Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for War how many tenants of W.D. houses are now under notice, and what steps are being taken to provide alternative accommodation for these people prior to their being evicted.

Mr. Bellenger

There are about 1,100 married quarters now occupied by unentitled civilians and where these quarters are urgently needed for the families of Regular soldiers, notice to vacate is being given. Where possible I am helping local authorities to provide alternative accommodation by making available any hutting surplus to Army requirements and by giving as long notice as possible.
