HC Deb 21 November 1939 vol 353 c1015
103. Mr. Levy

asked the First Commissioner of Works how many hotels and similar establishments which were commandeered, pending occupation by Government Departments, have now been relinquished; and what is the estimated cost of temporarily taking over those places which were not required?

The First Commissioner of Works (Mr. Ramsbotham)

The number of hotels released by my Department is two. The question of compensation is under consideration, and, pending discussion, I am not in a position to furnish an estimate.
