HC Deb 15 November 1982 vol 32 cc33-4W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the cost of 54 prefabricated fully-furnished houses built in the Falkland Islands for visiting specialists; and what was paid to Swedish concerns for the Swedish element in the houses.

Mr. Neil Marten

54 fully-furnished prefabricated houses are to be erected in Port Stanley as part of the civilian rehabilitation programme. They will be used both to re-house residents whose homes were damaged beyond repair during the invasion and to provide accommodation for some of the specialists recently recruited. The project is expected to cost about £5.6 million. Some 20 per cent. of this sum represents the contractor's payment for Swedish components.
