HC Deb 27 March 1922 vol 152 cc970-1W
Mr. HANCOCK

asked the hon. Member for the Pollok Division of Glasgow, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether all hotels commandeered by the Government have now been surrendered; and, if not, will he give the names of those that are still retained?

Sir J. GILMOUR

As far as this Department is concerned, all the London hotels requisitioned under the Defence of the Realm Regulations have been surrendered. In the provinces, however, five commandeered hotels occupied by the Ministry of Pensions are being retained pending the provision of alternative accommodation. These are as follows:—

  • Bristol.—Clifton Down Hotel.
  • Cardiff.—Angel Hotel.
  • Newcastle—Clarendon Hotel.
  • Portsmouth.—Millers Hotel.
  • Sheffield.—Imperial Hotel.
