HC Deb 25 May 1973 vol 857 c170W
Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Minister of State for Defence how long the officers' and airmen's married quarters at RAF, West Mailing, are to be occupied by RAF personnel; and what use is to be made of them after they have been vacated.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

By 1st August 1973, 139 of the RAF married quarters at West Mailing will have been transferred to the Home Office. Eleven will also have been transferred to the Army which will need them for at least three years. The remaining 20 married quarters will continue to be used by RAF officers serving at the Ministry of Defence. When these quarters are no longer required by the Services they will, if they are not required by the Home Office, be transferred to the property services agency of the Department of the Environment for disposal.
