§ 121. Mr. Joynson-Hicksasked the Minister of Works whether he is aware of the notices served by the Royal Air 121W Force authorities at Tangmere Aerodrome to evict the Service occupants from the married quarters there; and whether, to save these people from having no accommodation to which to move, he will refrain from disposing of any habitable accommodation in the area until he has offered it to the local authority.
§ Mr. StokesNo, the serving of notices to quit was not, of course, my responsibility. As regards the second part of the Question, it is the practice of my Department to offer to local authorities any accommodation which is suitable for housing before any steps are taken to dispose of it elsewhere. If the hon. Member will give me particulars of any premises he has in mind I will cause inquiries to be made.
