HC Deb 29 January 1947 vol 432 c207W
Major Bramall

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether it is the normal practice for units moving out of requisitioned accommodation in Germany to remove the furniture to their new billets; and whether he will arrange for the return of the furniture taken by 89 Intelligence Team from 20 Zollstrasse, Verden.

Mr. J. Hynd

This practice is followed only when suitable ordnance supplies cannot be provided. It is hoped to abandon it is soon as ordnance factories are producing in sufficient quantity. Meanwhile I cannot authorise the return of the furniture taken from 20 Zollstrasse, Verden, in respect of which the owner is receiving a hiring fee in accordance with the usual practice in such cases. These premises have not been derequisitioned.
