HC Deb 17 October 1973 vol 861 cc222-3W
Mr. Golding

asked the Minister of State for Defence what is the average cost of accommodation provided for Army officers of each rank; and what rent is charged.

Mr. Blaker

The cost of married accommodation provided for Army officers of each rank depends on its age and type. The rents are assessed by the independent Armed Forces Pay Review Body, which has continued to apply a formula devised by the National Board for Prices and Incomes in January 1970 (Cmnd 4291). Current charges for each type of quarter are set out in the latest report of the Review Body (Cmnd 5336).
