HC Deb 13 May 1964 vol 695 c77W
77. Mr. Healey

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangements are being made for the provision of suitable alternative accommodation for the families of the men of the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards when the regiment leaves for overseas service later this year.

Mr. Ramsden

The families of the officers and men posted to the Arabian Peninsula will be covered by the arrangements I described to the House on 26th February. They will be eligible for family accommodation in the United Kingdom. Arrangements will be made for them to occupy any available married quarters not required for united families in this country, or if they can find suitable hirings in places of their choice in this country, these will be taken over on their behalf as official hirings.
