HC Deb 29 March 1961 vol 637 c138W
70. Mr. du Cann

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the number of married quarters available for British Service personnel in Germany is inadequate; and what action he proposes to remedy the situation.

Mr. Profumo

I recognise the problem of providing sufficient married quarters in Germany, and, as my hon. Friend announced in the debate on the Army Estimates, we are completing about 3,000 multiple hirings during the coming financial year; with a further 1,500 to follow in 1962.

Mr. du Cann

asked the Secretary of State for War how many additional married quarters have been provided for the use of British Service personnel in Germany during each of the last ten years.

Mr. Profumo
