§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will reconsider his decision to dispose of the 36 empty flats at Cambridge House, Woolwich in view of the increased number of Army families in the area who are now waiting for accommodation.
§ Mr. WigginI have already agreed that these flats should be withdrawn from disposal and re-occupied by Army families in the area who would otherwise be without accommodation.
§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of (a) the cost of re-equipping the 36 empty flats at Cambridge House, Woolwich for occupation and (b) the length of time needed to complete the work.
§ Mr. WigginThe cost of refurbishing these 36 flats will be £10,000. Work is under way and the flats will become available for occupation progressively. The first will be ready shortly, and all work is expected to be completed by early April.
