HC Deb 26 February 1940 vol 357 c1739W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, since the Government have fixed the compensation of the railways at the average net revenue for the three years 1935, 1936 and 1937, the same principle will now be adopted for the same three years in calculating compensation for requisitioned hotels?

Mr. Ramsbotham

The two cases cannot be regarded as comparable, and the answer is accordingly in the negative.
