§ Lieut.-Colonel Marloweasked the Secretary of State for War what action has been taken consequent upon the representations made to his Department by the Board of Education to release from military occupation a certain building which is urgently required by the local education authority; and when he anticipates finding alternative accommodation for the military personnel concerned so that this building can be released for essential educational purposes.
Mr. HendersonThe provision of alternative accommodation, which will enable this building to be released, is being carefully explored. The building in question is being used as part of a large central office and my hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate that alternative accommodation must be near the rest of the office. There are considerable difficulties involved in arranging for this, but I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that every effort is being made to overcome them.
