§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for War if he will now derequisition the Tilehouse Housing Estate, near Guildford, which had been prepared for the erection of 1,000 houses, but the release of which has been refused on the grounds that the site is used as a dispersal centre; and as this purpose is no longer urgent and there are over 3,000 families in the area in need of houses if he will expedite the release of this property.
§ Mr. LawsonThe War Department occupies only a part of the Tilehouse Building Estate. A militia camp has been built on this site and I regret that it is not possible to relinquish it at present. There is, of course, no objection, so far as the War Office is concerned, to the owner building on the rest of the estate, which is not requisitioned by the War Department.
