HC Deb 30 January 1918 vol 101 c1560
56. Mr. HUGH LAW

asked the First Commissioner of Works what additional accommodation has been provided in Paris for Government Departments since the outbreak of war, whether by new constructions or by commandeering of existing buildings?

Mr. DUDLEY WARD (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household)

I have been asked to reply to this question. No additional accommodation has been taken in Paris so far as the Office of Works is concerned.

Mr. LAW

I think the hon. Member is mistaken. He says no additional accommodation has been taken in Paris so far as the Office of Works is concerned. I did not ask what additional accommodation had been taken in Paris so far as the Office of Works is concerned, but what additional accommodation had been taken in Paris by the French Government.

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member answered for his Department; he cannot answer for others.
