§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how long married personnel will be allowed to remain in married quarters in(a) overseas postings and (b) the United Kingdom following the termination of their service with the armed services; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonAll married service personnel in the United Kingdom and overseas are required to vacate322W their quarters on the day of their discharge. They are, however, given six months advance warning to vacate their quarter as part of the resettlement procedure. Married service personnel overseas are given the opportunity to move to a quarter in the United Kingdom for the last six months of their service to enable them to 1234look for alternative accommodation. The Ministry of Defence is sympathetic to the needs of ex-service families who face homelessness; in these circumstances ex-service personnel may be allowed to remain in their quarter until they have found alternative accommodation, as long as there are no pressing service requirements for the property.
