§ 21. Sir WILLOUGHBY DICKINSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the Railwaymen's Convalescent Home at Leasowe Castle, Cheshire, was commandeered for the purpose of training British soldiers; whether the use of it has been discontinued and it is now occupied by German prisoners; whether, when making this change, any regard was paid to the wishes of the railwaymen and their own needs for a convalescent home; and whether, if the latter desire it and the home cannot be used for training, it may be restored to its original use?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIt is necessary to make inquiries of the local military authorities to enable me to answer this question. This is being done, and I will communicate with my right hon. Friend as soon as possible.
