HC Deb 19 March 1946 vol 420 c354W
Major Symonds

asked the Undersecretary of State for Air if he will state the total number of premises, showing dwelling houses and other accommodation, separately, which have been requisitioned by his Department in the borough of Cambridge; the numbers still under requisition, subdivided as to those occupied and those unoccupied; the periods for which the unoccupied premises have been standing empty and the dates on which they will be derequisitioned.

Mr. Strachey

At one time we held 25 houses, one flat and the whole or part of 13 other properties in Cambridge. We now hold one house, which is occupied, also one other house which has been empty since 1st December, 1945, and an hotel which has been empty since 4th January, 1946. We were expecting to need these two properties again, but we have recently found other accommodation instead and they are about to be derequisitioned.
