HC Deb 07 July 1993 vol 228 c200W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what average purchase price has been obtained for surplus Ministry housing, for one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom accommodation within the Plymouth city council area and each of the six Cornish districts, for the six-month period October 1992 to March 1993; and what were the comparable figures for the previous six months.

Mr. Hanley

My noble Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Defence will write to the hon. Member.

Ms Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many residential properties in the London borough of Lewisham are owned by his Department; and if he will publish a list of such residential properties which are currently empty, giving the type of accommodation available, the length of time each property has been vacant and the intended future use.

Mr. Hanley

The Ministry of Defence currently owns 18 residential properties, all flats, situated in two locations in the London borough of Lewisham. Five dwellings are currently vacant. These properties have been vacant for three months awaiting new service occupants who are expected to arrive by September.

The answer given by my right hon. Friend the Member for Epsom and Ewell (Mr. Hamilton) to the hon. Member on 15 July 1992 at column 615 did not include six properties that had been incorrectly attributed to the neighbouring borough of Greenwich.
