§ 46. Mr. Swinglerasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will give instructions to the military government in Germany that, in the commandeering of German homes, every effort should be made to avoid taking those of anti-Nazis; and that where this is unavoidable, anti-Nazis should be allowed to retain their furniture and be given facilities for finding alternative accommodation before vacating their homes.
§ The Chancellor of the Duchy oil Lancaster (Mr. John Hynd)As my hon. Friend recognizes, it is not always possible to avoid requisitioning particular houses, but in all cases where tenants are disturbed steps are taken to ensure that alternative accommodation is made available. In the case of victims of Nazi persecution special arrangements are in force, giving preferential treatment not only in the provision of accommodation but also in such matters as rent and repairs.
