asked the Secretary of State for War for what purpose his Department continue to hold the Imperial Service College premises in Windsor under requisition.
Mr Emanuel Shinwell

These premises at present accommodate the A.T.S. Officer Cadet Training Unit and Junior Officers' School.
Sir Charles Mott-Radclyffe
, Windsor
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that these premises were bought during the war by the Windsor Borough Council, because they were urgently required as soon as the war was over for borough council staff, and will he say what steps his Department are taking to find an alternative building?
Mr Emanuel Shinwell
, Seaham
We are trying to find alternative accommodation, and I am sure that, as soon as it is found, we will use it.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
