asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he has given further consideration to the requisitioning of two cottages near Donibristle; and what steps he proposes to take to see that, in view of the serious housing shortage, these cottages remain available for domestic occupation?

It has been definitely decided not to proceed with the proposed requisitioning of one of the two cottages near Donibristle, and the possibility of leaving the other cottage free for domestic occupation is still under consideration.

While thanking the Minister for his reply, may I ask him whether consideration will be favourable?

I will let the hon. Member know.
