§ 46. Mr. Staintonasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he is satisfied with the standard of married quarters offered to United Kingdom civil servants serving in Bahrain; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Hattersley:Yes, but the majority of civil servants in Bahrain are accommodated in hirings. The general standard of hirings is acceptable, but availability of property in the area is such that they are not always up to the standard we would expect of service hirings in the United Kingdom.
