§ Mr. Youngerasked the Minister of Public Building and Works (1) what is the estimated cost of a senior officer's house at the Royal Navy submarine base at Faslane;
346W(2) what is the average cost of married quarters for naval officers built at the submarine base at Faslane.
§ Mr. MellishThe costs of all the married quarters built or in construction for naval officers at the Clyde Submarine Base are exceptionally high because of sloping sites, a difficult subsoil of outcropping hard rock, and high building costs. All the quarters are being provided to normal scales and standards. Three houses for certain senior officers are under construction at Shandon at an average cost of £15,330. The average costs of other quarters for naval officers at Rhu is £8,700.
