Lord Swinfen
asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether the local authority or the Defence Housing Executive (DHE) is responsible for dealing with infestations of rats where there is evidence of their presence in service quarters or their gardens managed by the DHE. [HL1007]
Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean
The Defence Housing Executive (DHE) is responsible for arranging for the treatment of infestations of rats where there is evidence of their presence in service families accommodation (SFA) or gardens. Any infestation is dealt with either by the local authority or a local specialist contractor and funded by DHE.
