asked the Minister of Works how many properties suitable for use or adaptation for housing are requisitioned in Scotland.

Forty-six properties suitable for use or adaptation for housing are requisitioned by my Department in Scotland, most of which will be de-requisitioned when the office buildings now under construction are completed. I am informed that the Admiralty hold on requisition 59 houses all of which are used as housing accommodation for Admiralty employees, while the War Office and Air Ministry hold on requisition nine and two properties respectively, suitable for housing.
