64. Colonel A. H. Harrisonasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how many houses and factories have been de-requisitioned by his Department in the last year; and how many of each still remain requisitioned, together with their covered floor space.
Mr. WardIn the past year one house has been de-requisitioned. Forty-two houses are still held on requisition. Details of the floor space of these are not readily available. No factories are now held.
In addition, the Air Ministry holds 40 flats, but I hope that 35 of these, at 77, Hallam Street. W.I, will be released early next year.
