HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 cc304-5W
Dr. Mawhinney

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many Service houses are presently unoccupied at RAF Wittering; and what plans he has for them.

Mr. Pattie

There are currently 310 empty married quarters at RAF Wittering. This represents about a third of the total stock of that Station. All these houses are to be used to meet the requirements of personnel at RAF Wittering while other accommodation there is modernised and also to house personnel from nearby RAF Cottesmore until the accommodation works services there have been completed. Any quarters that are subsequently found to be surplus to requirements will be disposed of.
