§ Sir W. Darlingasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that the wholesale fruit and vegetable market in the city of Edinburgh has been requisitioned by his Department for over five years; and when the present inconvenient arrangements of holding public markets in the open thoroughfare are likely to be terminated.
§ Mr. Wilson:I have been asked to reply. The Fruit and Vegetable Market at Cranston Street, Edinburgh, is held by my Department not under requisition but 382W under a tenancy agreement, which commenced in December, 1940. A formal notice to remove from the premises as at 28th May, 1946, has just been received from the proprietors and search for suitable alternative accommodation is being actively pursued.
