§ 4. Mr. Formanasked the Minister of Works if his attention has been drawn to the persistent refusal of his Department to release shop premises known as 558, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, from requisitioning; and whether he will give instructions that alternative empty premises shall be utilised, particulars of which have already been supplied to the regional office of his Ministry.
§ Mr. KeyThe premises are now being prepared for the use of the Ministry of Fuel and Power for an exhibition of fuel burning appliances, and I regret that, in the absence of suitable alternative accommodation, I am unable to release them. The owners of the vacant accommodation referred to in the second part of the Question are unwilling to lease the premises to my Department.
