§ 38. Mr. WILSON-FOXasked the Under-Secretary for War if his Department proposes to take over the two largest hotels at Aldeburgh, Suffolk; if so, if he is satisfied that the provision of additional accommodation by this method can be justified in the present circumstances on grounds of military necessity; and if he will take into consideration the loss and inconvenience which the closing of these hotels will cause to the town and neighbourhood?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONOwing to military necessity, the acquisition of certain hotels at Aldeburgh is under consideration. The representations contained in the last part of my hon. Friend's question are being fully considered.
§ Mr. WILSON-FOXWill my right hon. Friend consider whether during the winter months in this summer seaside resort it will be possible to provide accommodation cheaper than this very expensive method of commandeering hotels?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am having the whole question looked into.
