HC Deb 19 July 1995 vol 263 cc1361-2W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many proceedings to evict irregular occupants for non-payment of rent have been initiated in each of the last five years for which information is available; and if he will make a statement. [35031]

Mr. Soames

In the last five years, my Department has initiated 370 proceedings to evict irregular occupants for non-payment of rent, although there is very rarely any need for an actual eviction to take place, and in the last two years for which figures are available there have been no evictions. A year by year breakdown of this figure is given in the table:

Number
1991 16
1992 77
1993 142
1994 112
1995 233
1 Note that the figure for 1991 is for Royal Air Force only.
2 To date.
