Atomic Weapons Research Establishment

Mr. David Mitchell
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he plans to allow Atomic Weapons Research Establishment employees the opportunity of purchasing the house in which they are living when they have been Atomic Weapons Research Establishment tenants for more than five years.

Dr. Gilbert
Houses are required at AWRE as accommodation for existing staff and their successors. For this reason the general sale of houses to present occupants would be inappropriate.
