§ 42. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Minister of Supply whether any steps are being taken, in conjunction with the Young Men's Christian Association or otherwise, to supply disused Army hats as social centres in those districts and villages where there is at present no social institute?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYUp to the present very few huts have been reported as available for disposal. I shall be glad to consider favourably any offer made by the Young Men's Christian Association, or any other public body, for the purchase of huts for the purpose indicated in the question.
Colonel C. LOWTHERWill the hon. Gentleman consider the handing over of the huts to the Association for Disabled Soldiers?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYProvided the interests of the Exchequer are properly safe guarded, I shall be prepared to consider favourably any proposal of that kind.
§ Mr. G. TERRELLWill the hon. Gentleman cause a public announcement to be made when these huts become available?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYCertainly. It will all be done after full advertisement.
§ Colonel WEDGWOODCan my hon. Friend say that none of these huts will be given away for less than their full value for public purposes such as this?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYI hope they will not be given away for less than, their full market value.
§ Mr. KELLAWAYIf they will pay for them at their full value.
