§ 10. Mr. WESTWOODasked the Secretary of State for War if he will be prepared to postpone for one year the calling up of the £200 bond, or security, which the War Office hold over the drill hall, Penicuik, Midlothian, providing efforts are made by the ex-service men who occupy the hall to raise sufficient money to purchase the bond?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)I have now heard that the trustees hope to raise the necessary funds to pay off the bond, and their solicitor has asked for the title deeds, which are accordingly being sent to him, to enable him to prepare the necessary discharge. I assume, therefore, that a period of grace is no longer required, and if it is, I hope the hon. Member will communicate with me.
