HC Deb 27 February 1951 vol 484 c266W
16. Mr. Redmayne

asked the Secretary of State for War what action he has taken to safeguard the interest of civilian employees returning from abroad in the matter of house allocation.

Mr. Strachey

It rests with the local authorities concerned to allocate the tenancies of their houses according to need. However, with a view to easing the difficulties of these officials and their families, the financial allowances to which they may be entitled have recently been extended.
