HC Deb 18 December 1946 vol 431 c397W
112. Major Bramall

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what instructions have been issued by the Manpower Division of the Control Commission for the return of property belonging to trade unions before 1933.

Mr. J. Hynd

No instructions can yet be issued as the procedure to be followed in returning this property is still under Quadripartite discussion. Pending agreement on procedure the trade unions are going ahead with the preparation of their claims; in many cases they are already enjoying use of the properties they are claiming on a nominal rent basis.
