Mr. O'NeillTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many of the 5,000 Army personnel who have applied for voluntary redundancy have already made their own provision for housing.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonInformation on the private housing arrangements or plans of those Army personnel who have applied to be considered for redundancy is not held by the Ministry of Defence. We anticipate that many individuals will be using their special capital payments to help to purchase a home for the first time.
