HC Deb 10 June 1920 vol 130 cc609-10
92. Mr. LYLE

asked the First Commissioner of Works what buildings in Paris are still rented on behalf of any British Ministries; what are the rents paid and which are the Ministries concerned; and when arrangements are being made to evacuate the French capital so far as British Departments are concerned?

Sir A. MOND

The following buildings in Paris are still occupied by Government staffs:—

22, Rue d'Aguesseau and 22, Rue de l'Elysée. Rent £125 per month. For staff dealing with the carrying out of the Treaty with Germany.

Part of Hotel Campbell. Rent £550 per month. Occupied by the Delegation dealing with Treaty of Peace with Turkey.

Two flats in Rue de Bassano. Rent £50 per month. Occupied by representatives of the Admiralty, Air Ministry, Ministry of Shipping and Imperial War Graves Commission.

The question of evacuation is one for the Departments concerned, but I understand that the Hotel Campbell will be surrendered immediately.
