58. Brigadier Clarkeasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many married quarters for officers and other ranks were built in Portsmouth during 1951 and 1952; and how many are expected to be completed during 1954.
§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasNone. Work on the second stage of the Armed Forces Housing Loan, which applies to the home ports, is only due to start during the present year. Arrangements are, however, well in hand for starting 249 houses in the Portsmouth area in August. It is hoped to place contracts by the end of March, 1955, for a further 886 houses.
