Fair access to housing for Army personnel
Creed challenged the reliance on local authorities and cited a medical report condemning many Army married quarters. Moore said the answer was to provide more housing for all sectors; no change to the system was agreed.
Will the Minister accept that the Minister for Defence has said in this House that this is a matter for the local authority, that his predecessor said in the House that Army personnel were not getting a fair crack of the whip, and would the Minister change the system entirely?

The answer is to provide more houses for all sectors of the community. That is what the Government are trying to do for people inside and outside the armed forces.

The fact remains that almost all married quarters in this city occupied by Army personnel have been condemned in a medical officer's report. How can the Minister say he is making progress?
