§ 124. Sir D. Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for War why the Cottage, Victoria Drive, Wandsworth, remains requisitioned; and for what purpose it is being used.
§ Mr. LawsonThese premises were in occupation by a military unit. As soon as it was known that the unit was leaving and that the premises would not be required for further military occupation steps were taken to derequisition them. The house was, in fact, derequisitioned on 1st March.
§ Mr. Gammansasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Thorney-croft, Dorking Road, Leatherhead, and a spinney in Downs Lane, Leatherhead, have not been used by the military authorities for some months past; and when he expects they will be derequisitioned.
§ Mr. LawsonBoth these properties are now surplus to my Department's requirements. In accordance with the normal procedure other Government Departments are being consulted and if they do not require these properties they will be derequisitioned.
