HC Deb 10 February 1943 vol 386 c1331W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works under what provision of the law his Ministry has taken power to dispose of the premises situated in Bloomsbury and known as the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London and, at present, in part, occupied by that school?

Mr. Hicks

My Department has power to requisition premises under the Defence Regulations, but in this case the matter has been dealt with by agreement.
