§ 40. Mr. WATTasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether his Department has last week commandeered another hotel in Glasgow, notwithstanding the statement by the Air Minister' that hotels are unsuitable buildings for conducting the business of Government Departments; if so, is he aware of the lack of hotel accommodation in that city for commercial men, and for inspectors and the like sent by Government Departments; does he know that large terrace houses can be got there uninhabited and in large numbers; and will he, in these circumstances, reconsider this matter?
§ Major BAIRDNo final decision has been arrived at as regards the taking over of this hotel, and it is hoped that it may be possible to find suitable accommodation elsewhere.
§ Mr. WATTIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that the Minister for Air made the statement that hotels were unsuitable buildings for the work?
§ Major BAIRDI do not recall that. I have no doubt the hon. Member's memory is better than mine.
