HC Deb 18 December 1957 vol 580 c57W
6. Mr. Mellish

asked the Secretary of State for War how much was spent in 1956, and how much has been spent in 1957, on improvements to barracks and other living accommodation for the Army.

Mr. John Hare

In 1956 we spent about £10½ million on living accommodation. In the first ten months of this year the expenditure was about £7½ million. These are broad figures because, as the hon Member knows, we normally calculate by financial years rather than calendar years.
