§ Captain BOWYERasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office to what address and to whom application should be made for a grant from the funds administered by General Byng to help in purchasing a hut for ex-service men?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONApplication should be made to the Organising Secretary, United Services Fund, 29, Cromwell Road, South Kensington, S.W.7.
Lieut.-Colonel BELLasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the question of granting a site at Tid-worth for a club for ex-service men is still unsettled, although application was made as long ago as July last, and that great disappointment is felt by the ex-service men of this district over the long delay; and if he will inquire into the matter and induce the War Office Lands Department to come to some decision in the matter?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONThe club have been offered facilities to begin building operations, but I understand that the delay is due to negotiations as to the amount of ground rent that should be paid. A suggestion has been put forward on behalf of the club that they should pay only a nominal or reduced rent in place of the normal market rent.
