HC Deb 28 January 1993 vol 217 c851W
Mr. Beith

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many RAF Boulmer married quarters are currently vacant in the village of Longhoughton, Northumberland.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

As at 31 December 1992 there were 14 vacant RAF Boulmcr married quarters in Longhoughton. Five of these properties were already allocated to service families who were due to move in shortly and the remainder were either undergoing or awaiting major works services. In addition a further 40 houses were emptied between September and December 1992 to allow extensive modernisation and refurbishment to take place. Once this work is completed the properties will be used to accommodate service families.
