§ Mr. Grocottasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how long the former Ministry of Defence houses at Marchington and Fauld have been in the 261W hands of the Property Services Agency; and when it is expected that they will be occupied.
§ Mr. MarksNinety-seven houses at Marchington have been with the Property Services Agency (PSA) for disposal since January 1977 and a further 14 from January 1978. Ten houses at Fauld have been with PSA since May 1977.
All the houses now lack sewage disposal facilities and some lack a water supply. Until these services have been re-provided—and this will take some months—the houses cannot be occupied.
