HC Deb 04 May 1993 vol 224 c20W
Mr. Jamieson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects the sale of surplus married quarters at Mantle gardens, Barne Barton, Plymouth, to Devon and Cornwall housing association to be completed.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The Devon and Cornwall housing association has requested that completion of the deal should be delayed. The properties are now being seriously damaged by vandals, however, and in order to protect the interests of the taxpayer and to ensure the early reuse of the dwellings, arrangements are now in hand to sell the estate on the open market.
