asked the Secretary of State for War how many premises in Weymouth and district are now requisitioned by his Department; and what were the comparable numbers on VJ-Day.

Mr. Lawson

Fifty-four premises in the Weymouth Urban District are at present under requisition by my Department. Of these 29 are already in process of release. On VJ-Day the number held was 151.

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps have been taken to secure accommodation in military camps and hutments for Army personnel now housed in requisitioned premises in Weymouth and district.

All units in Weymouth and district have been reaccommodated in camps except for those now occupying 25 requisitioned premises. The majority of the troops occupying these premises will be re housed in a nearby camp by the end of February.
