Adair House Mr. Cartwright asked the Secretary of State for Defence why the Defence Land Agent has refused a request for a temporary lease of Adair house, Shooters Hill road, London SE18, for an experimental riding centre from the London borough of Greenwich. Mr. Lee A temporary lease would not be appropriate, since we expect to dispose of Adair house in the near future. Mr. Cartwright asked the Secretary of State for Defence when Adair house, Shooters Hill road, London SE18, ceased to be used as a nurses' home for the Royal Herbert hospital; how long it has been vacant; and at what cost. Mr. Lee Adair house ceased to be a nurses home for the Royal Herbert hospital in 1979. It was then occupied as offices until 1982, since when it has been in partial use as an accommodation store for the military hospital. The cost has been about £26,000 since 1982. Mr. Cartwright asked the Secretary of State for Defence what proposals for the future use of Adair house, Shooters Hill road, SE18, are currently under consideration; and when a decision is expected. Mr. Lee Adair house has been declared surplus to requirements by the Army. Subject to there being no other MOD need, it will be passed to PSA for disposal in the normal way.
