§ Mr. TomlinsonI have been asked to reply. It is not possible at present to say when this site can be derequisitioned. It was recently loaned by the War Department to the Ministry of Works to re-accommodate a working party of prisoners of war who were occupying requisitioned dwelling houses in Birmingham. If suitable alternative accommodation becomes available the prisoners will be moved and the property derequisitioned.
