(4) how many of his Ministry's properties at (a) the Dale Road estate, Haverfordwest, and (b) Trafalgar Road estate, Haverfordwest, are currently vacant. [4735]

Mr. Soames

My Department owns the following properties on the estate mentioned at Haverfordwest:

Stock Vacant
Dale Road estate 188 85
Trafalgar Road estate 253 93

The properties on the Trafalgar Road estate are surplus to our long-term requirements and we are currently negotiating to sell 216 of them to a housing association. The remaining 37 will probably be offered for sale to service personnel through the services' discount scheme. The vacant properties on the Dale Road estate are being held for a unit returning from Germany. In common with other parts of the married quarters estate in England and Wales, these married quarters may be transferred to the private sector as part of the proposal announced by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence on 30 November 1995, Official Report, columns 810-11.
