§ Sir A. Knoxasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether industrial premises taken over for war purposes by order of the Government, will be handed back to the owner, if he so desires, at the conclusion of the war?
§ Captain CrookshankPossession of industrial premises requisitioned under Defence Regulations will normally be relinquished as soon as possible after the termination of the war or earlier if they are no longer required. In some cases, however, it may be found desirable to retain premises temporarily and in others to acquire premises, as for instance those on which substantial work has been done at the public expense.
