HC Deb 23 June 1947 vol 439 c7
23. Mr. Derek Walker-Smith

asked the Minister of Works whether any priority in derequisitioning is given to owners of single properties subject to requisition who require the properties for the purpose of their calling and where no suitable alternative accommodation is available.

Mr. Key

While first priority is given generally to the release of accommodation such as flats and small houses which are urgently needed to meet a public need, efforts are made to meet individual cases of hardship by releasing single properties where possible.

Mr. Walker-Smith

If I give the Minister information about particular cases which deserve his sympathetic attention, will he give them that attention?

Mr. Key

Most certainly.
