HC Deb 19 November 1948 vol 458 c76W
Colonel Clarke

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that Nos. 1 and 19, Wordsworth Close and 12, Worth Park Drive, Three Bridges, have now been requisitioned by his Department for the last eight years or so, thereby imposing considerable hardship on the owners and adding to the pressure already existing for accommodation in the district; and if he will take steps to terminate this requisition at once.

Mr. Bevan

These houses, which were acquired by the present owners while already under requisition, are in full use as housing accommodation by the local authority, and I cannot, therefore, question their decision to retain them for the time being.
