HC Deb 09 February 1948 vol 447 c14
21. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Works if it is with his knowledge and approval that 5, Palace Yard, which is part of the accommodation of the Palace of Westminster, was used and advertised as the headquarters of an organisation known as the Crusade for World Government; and what rent was paid by this body.

Mr. Key

No, Sir. As soon as this misuse of official accommodation was known, it was stopped by the authorities of this House. No rent was paid.

Mr. Gammans

Could not the right hon. Gentleman give us a little more information? Who are these people? Did they just wander in and camp in the Palace of Westminster?

Mr. Key

I am not responsible for letting these premises to the people concerned. It was the authorities of the House who made the necessary correction in the case.
