10. Brigadier Clarke

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many houses and flats were built in Portsmouth for officers and ratings each year between 1946 and 1954.

Mr. J. P. L. Thomas

No married quarters were built in the Portsmouth area between 1946 and 1954 except 16 for officers and 62 for ratings at H.M.S. "Dryad." Under the home ports programme authorised last year 1,550 houses and flats for officers and ratings are to be built in the Portsmouth area, and completions will begin towards the end of 1955.
