HC Deb 12 November 1918 vol 110 c2564W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is still commandeering houses in Queen's Gate; and why, at this stage of the War, it is necessary to put the country to further expense in this way?

Sir A. MOND

Certain empty houses in Queen's Gate are being acquired at the instance of the Pensions Ministry to provide a hostel for 200 wounded soldiers whilst repair and readjustment of their artificial limbs are being effected on the premises, an object with which, I am sure, the hon. Member, like myself, is in perfect sympathy.
