§ 143. Mr. Willisasked the Secretary of State for Air for what purposes No. 4 Regent Terrace and Nos. 12, 13 and 14, Carlton Terrace, Edinburgh, are still held by his Department; and when it is proposed to derequisition them.
§ Mr. TomlinsonI have been asked to reply. No. 4, Regent Terrace, Edinburgh, is held on requisition by the Air Ministry. It is now surplus to their requirements and is under consideration by the Secretary of State for Scotland for housing purposes. No. 12, Carlton Terrace is held on requisition by my Department for use as offices. Numbers 13 and 14 are held on an annual tenancy, the former for use as offices and the latter for the Observer Corps. It is hoped to derequisition No. 12, Carlton Terrace in about ten months time but I regret that I cannot say at present when Nos. 13 and 14 will be surrendered.
