§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) whether he will arrange for all Service men applying for release or signing off to be informed that housing authorities do not normally give priority to ex-Service men for accommodation;
(2) whether he will issue a circular to all Army, Naval and Air Force units advising all Service men that in the event of their intending to apply for release or discharge they should register with the appropriate housing authority if they are seeking housing accommodation after release or discharge.
§ Mr. William Rodgers:All three Services give advice on housing to Service men prior to their release. This includes advice on how to apply for council houses and the problems which may be encountered, including the likely availability of housing.
