HC Deb 10 November 1992 vol 213 c688W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will set out the numbers and locations of empty service police housing quarters in South Yorkshire.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The Home Office does not hold information about the location of police housing, which is owned and managed by individual police authorities. According to information received from South Yorkshire police authority, eight houses were empty as at 31 March 1992. One of these is due to be re-allocated to a serving policy officer, and five have been identified for sale during the current financial year.
