asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what programme of improvement, and at what cost, he plans for the Royal Air Force Servicemen's barrack accommodation at Muharraq, Bahrein, in the next 12 months.

Apart from works services necessitated by redeployment it is planned to extend and improve an Airmen's Mess and to improve existing officers' single accommodation and the Elworthy Social Club. It is also planned to construct some new single accommodation for officers, S.N.C.O.s and Airmen, a new S.N.C.O.s Mess and a second swimming pool. The estimated total cost of all these services is about £500,000.
