The requisition of 33, Davies Street, is retained at present to house certain branches of the United States Embassy to whom it was allocated in 1945 to enable them to release larger premises urgently required for a Government Department. The United States Government will vacate this building early next year. The Embassy are charged the actual compensation rental, together with a sum to cover maintenance and other costs incurred by my Ministry. I am aware that the firm referred to in the Question, who are the tenants of one of the six floors, wish to obtain possession of this floor, but it may be necessary to re-occupy the premises when the Americans leave.
