§ 16. Mr. Doddsasked the President of the Board of Trade if a decision has yet been reached in the application for permission to build a £2,500,000 hotel in London.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftThis matter is still under consideration.
§ Mr. DoddsHow long will it be before a decision is reached, as this was being considered in December? Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the interests concerned are British or not? If another nationality is concerned, will he say which it is?
§ Mr. ThorneycroftThe object of this project would be to increase our dollar earnings. It is, in many ways, an admirable project, and I am giving it most earnest consideration.
