§ 51. Sir I. Alberyasked the Minister of Health whether, in cases where billeting officers have earmarked accommodation for civil evacuation or military purposes, the householders are in all cases informed of the nature of the call which may be made upon them?
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. Ernest Brown)The earmarking of accommodation or billets for military purposes is a matter for the military authorities or the police. It is customary for billeting officers, when reserving billets for evacuated persons, to inform householders of the number of persons they are likely to be asked to receive, but full particulars of the children or mothers with children to be billeted are not normally available until their arrival in the district.
