§ Mr. MartlewTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has on the reason for the construction of 293 new homes at RAF Bentwaters by the United States Government; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonI understand that in 1985 the United States air force contracted for the provision of new married quarters at RAF Bentwaters to correct a critical shortage of accommodation in the local area. Work on these houses started in April 1990 and is due to be completed in late 1991.
