asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster by whom have the 26,600 houses derequisitioned in the British zone of Germany been released; and what additional requisitioning has been done by the two Belgian corps which have replaced 30 Corps.

All the properties were released by British Army of the Rhine. In the second half of the Question I presume the hon. Member is referring to the one Belgian corps which replaced certain British Divisions. During 1946, 1,763 houses and flats were requisitioned for them.
