HC Deb 31 March 2004 vol 419 cc1487-8W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether unmarried partners are eligible for Defence Housing Executive married quarters if they are in a recognised relationship; and if he will make a statement. [163627]

Mr. Caplin

[holding answer 30 March 2004]: The Tri-Service Accommodation Regulations govern the allocation of married quarters to serving personnel. They do not allow cohabitation with a partner who is not a legal spouse.

However, this policy is currently under review and when a conclusion is reached the House will be advised.
