§ Mr. Kershawasked the Secretary of State for Defence what will be the average cost per married quarter of the 20,000 married quarters he will provide over the next three years, specifying whether the cost is for the construction of new dwellings, or the purchase or hiring of existing dwellings.
§ Mr. ReynoldsThe average cost of building a married quarter (excluding land) is £4,000. The average cost of 195W acquiring a house by purchase (which would of course include the land) is expected to be a little higher.
