§ 64. Lieut.-Commander Gurney Braithwaiteasked the Minister of Health when No. 9 Cheverton Avenue, Withernsea, property of Mrs. Jessie Empson, will be derequisitioned.
§ Mr. BevanI regret that I am unable to say when this house is likely to be released from requisition.
§ Lieut.-Commander BraithwaiteIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this lady purchased this house in order to provide a home for her married son on his return from the Forces, and that the son is now demobilised but he and his wife are living in a single room in Hull at a rent of 15s. a week? Will he look at the matter again?
§ Mr. BevanI will certainly make inquiries. The note I have is that the lady in question consented to the house being requisitioned on condition that a second house of hers was released for her own use, but I will make further inquiries.
§ Lieut.-Commander BraithwaiteThat was in 1941.
