*CAPTAIN FABERI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether he can state the total number of licensed houses under the direction of the various departments of the State that have been sold during the twelve months previous to 31st March of the current year, and their names and the prices given for them.
§ THE PRIME MINISTER AND FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.I have no information on the subject. Returns could no doubt be obtained, if called for, front the various Government Departments which own real property, but I doubt whether the information when obtained would be of sufficient public interest to repay the labour involved in its preparation.
