§ Lieut.-Colonel Price-Whiteasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that certain requisitioned properties at Llan-dudno are now only partially occupied by Inland Revenue staffs through the return of a proportion of these staffs to London; and can the vacated rooms now be filled up by staffs from other requisitioned properties so as to allow the immediate derequisitioning of some at least of such properties.
§ Mr. WilsonYes, Sir. I am aware that certain requisitioned hotels in Llandudno are only partially occupied at present by Inland Revenue staffs. The rearrangement of the staff is under consideration and I hope it will result in the release of some of this accommodation.
§ Captain Gammansasked the Minister of Works what use is now being made of the premises occupied before the war by the Probate Registry and Estate Duty offices, respectively.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe greater part of the Probate Registry prewar accommodation in Somerset House is still occupied by that Department. The balance is allocated to the Ministry of Supply who are gradually vacating as a result of reductions in staff. The prewar accommodation of the Estate Duty Office is occupied partly by the 753W Paymaster-General and partly by the Ministry of Supply. About one-sixth of the space is out of use as a result of war damage.
