Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many houses owned by his Department are now vacant in the neighbourhood of the Ministry's establishement in Shoeburyness; and what plans he has for these properties.

Mr. Lee

There are 48 married quarters currently vacant at Shoeburyness which are held pending the outcome of studies of the future of Horseshoe barracks. We would welcome any formal approach regarding leasing by Southend council.
