HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 c128W
15. Mr. Ward

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the continued shortage of married quarters for officers and other ranks in the Canal Zone; and what steps he is taking to provide accommodation for families waiting to join their husbands in that zone.

Mr. Strachey

Approval has been given for the construction of a further 220 temporary married quarters in 1950–51, and a scheme has been approved to provide a further 80 married quarters by leasing flats from a contractor.
