100. Lieut-Commander Hutchison

asked the Minister of Works to what extent his Department has requisitioned private dwelling-houses and hotels in Edinburgh to provide office accommodation for the staff of the National Coal Board.

Mr. Key

The requisitions of four dwelling houses in Edinburgh have been transferred from the War Department to the Ministry of Works to provide office accommodation for the staff of the Coal Board. One of these houses was a private hotel when requisitioned by the War Department but has since been sold.
