HC Deb 21 July 1980 vol 989 cc114-5W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the favourable treatment of former members of the Armed Forces of the Crown for the purposes of discount on right to buy sales under clause 7 (a) (b) and 7 (6) (c) of the Housing Bill extends to the Women's Royal Air Force and Women's Royal Army Corps as well as to the members of the Women's Royal Naval Service and Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service who are specifically mentioned.

Mr. Stanley

Yes. Under the Bill as drafted, secure tenants who buy their homes and who are serving in the WRAF or WRAC on or after 21 December 1979 will be entitled to discount on the same basis as former members of other branches of the regular Armed Forces of the Crown.
