HC Deb 04 March 1980 vol 980 cc124-5W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many houses under his control are empty in Devon; and if he will make a statement on his future policy on their use.

Mr. Hayhoe

About 1,100 Service married quarters in Devon are vacant: more than half are awaiting or undergoing works services and 100 have been allocated to prospective occupants. Our policy is to provide married quarters for Service personnel who want them and dispose of those for which no long term need has been identified.
