HC Deb 30 June 1980 vol 987 cc422-3W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many British military personnel live in married quarters; and how many Service men are currently awaiting the allocation of such accommodation.

Mr. Hayhoe

There are about 72,000 married quarters in the United Kingdom occupied by Service personnel. Some 650 Service men and women are awaiting allocation of married quarters. In a few places there is a local excess of demand over supply and in others some individuals are waiting for a specific type of quarter, a preferred location or a convenient time to move.
