§ 39. Mr. Sorensenasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the houses heretofor used for military purposes now becoming vacant through the departure of troops for the Continent, he is taking any further action to see that those houses are occupied by civilian families or are put at the disposal of local authorities for this purpose.
§ Mr. WillinkThis important matter is receiving close consideration, and I am conferring with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War about it.
§ Mr. SorensenDo I understand that some kind of direction will be given that, when that happens, the houses shall be passed over to the authorities for civil purposes?
§ Mr. WillinkThat is, quite obviously, the matter on which I am consulting with the Secretary of State.
