HC Deb 16 December 1946 vol 431 cc307-8W
27 and 28. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) what steps have been taken by the British delegates to the General Assembly of U.N.O. to apply the provisions of

bombed-out people of London and placing the German scientists in Army Nissen huts.

Mr. Tomlinson

Spedan Towers, Hampstead, was requisitioned by the War Department in 1940 when it was vacant. Recently it became surplus to the War Department's requirements. The Ministry of Health did not require the property for housing as it could not be readily converted into flats, and it has been taken over by my Department to house German scientists now occupying the Beltane School, Wimbledon, which is urgently required for a Teachers' Training College.
