§ 37. Major Sir Edward Cadoganasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Buildings whether there are still a number of vacant hotels in the reception areas which have been hitherto earmarked for the Civil Service; and whether, if they are not needed for that purpose, they could be used by His Majesty's Forces or by refugees from the bombed areas?
§ Mr. HicksThe hotels taken over by the Ministry of Works and Buildings are either occupied by Government staffs or have been lent to the Service Departments for use by His Majesty's Forces. Certain premises have also been placed temporarily at the disposal of the Minister of Health.
§ Sir E. CadoganDoes that mean that there are no vacant hotels?
