97. Dr. CHAPPLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War how many houses are vacant in Gretna, including the houses that would be available if those originally intended to be subdivided were converted into dwellings?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Major Boyd-Carpenter)

I have been asked to answer this question. In the townships of Gretna and Eastriggs there are 10 brick-built cottages vacant, and 26 blocks of brick hostels capable of conversion into 249 cottages. There are also in these villages 195 temporary wooden bungalows vacant.
