HC Deb 07 November 1945 vol 415 c1264
25. Major Guy Lloyd

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that 117 houses are presently held on requisition in Scotland by his Department; and what steps are being taken to release these houses forthwith.

Mr. Strachey

Yes, Sir. We are releasing houses in Scotland as fast as we can. Twenty-one of the 117 held are already in course of release; half should be gone by the end of this year, and some three-quarters by 31st March, 1946. The problems presented by the rest are under urgent examination.
