HC Deb 24 June 1948 vol 452 c162W
Sir G. Fox

asked the Secretary of State for War why possession was applied for the married quarters in the Drill Hall, Henley-on-Thames, and obtained by summonsing at the county court, Reading; and why on 8th June six weeks later they were still empty.

Mr. Shinwell

The quarter was required for a permanent staff instructor of the Territorial Army. The instructor originally posted was notified as due for reposting, and was therefore not moved into the quarter. When the new instructor arrived, he had no furniture, and the Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Association could not provide any. This instructor has, however, now taken possession.
