asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the advice which his Department gives to Service men prior to their release regarding housing is given in writing; and, if this is the case, whether he will place a copy in the Library.

In addition to advice on housing in the course of resettlement interviews, Service men receive also a copy of a booklet entitled "For your guidance on leaving the Service", which gives general advice on all aspects of resettlement, including housing. I am arranging for a copy to be placed in the Library.
