Sir F. HALLasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in consequence of the great shortage of houses and the large number of soldiers who have been demobilised and are in want of housing accommodation, he will, upon application from the local authorities, grant them the use of any surplus Army huts; and, if so, whether he will indicate what steps should be taken in order to obtain possession of the same without delay?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYI have been asked to answer this question. Full information is given to local authorities of any surplus Army huts notified to the Disposal Board as available for disposal, and every facility is afforded to these authorities to acquire these huts in priority to the general public. Application should be addressed to the Controller, Huts and Building Materials Section, Disposal Board, Artillery Mansions, S.W. I.
