9. Squadron-Leader Fleming

asked the Minister of Works how many residential properties in the Manchester City area were derequisitioned in 1948; and how many are still requisitioned and by which Departments.

Mr. Key

Three residential properties in the Manchester City area were released by Departments in 1948, including one small house which was taken over by the Ministry of Health for housing purposes. Two small houses and eight large houses are still held by my Ministry under requisition; one large house is held by the Air Ministry and one large house by the War Department.
