§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what consideration is being given to the replacement of locally-rented accommodation for service families on Belize by purpose-built accommodation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonTaking into account the uncertainty over the period British Forces will remain in Belize, it has been previously assessed that it would not be cost-effective to replace locally rented accommodation for families in Belize with purpose-built accommodation. We are currently in the process of looking at this matter again, although no decision has yet been reached.
§ Mr. Nicholas BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what proposals he has to improve the single and married accommodation of Her Majesty's forces serving in Belize.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonWe are currently in the middle of a five-year programme for the replacement of the older single accommodation in Belize, which is due to be completed in 1992. We are also in the middle of rebuilding the 10 old-style married quarters in Airport camp, which will be replaced by 1991.
