HC Deb 01 July 1926 vol 197 cc1349-50W

Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for War the cost of removing the British Army of Occupation from Cologne to Wisbaden?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on the 14th April last to my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford (Sir F. Wise).

Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the whole of the British officers transferred from Cologne to Wiesbaden have been provided with quarter; together with the amount of expenditure authorised in respect of hotel accommodation until such quarters were provided?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

All officers transferred from Cologne to Weisbaden have been provided with quarters with the exception of some single officers of the General Headquarters Mess who are permanently accommodated in the Eden Hotel. Six officers who have joined the Army of the Rhine since the evacuation of Cologne are also accommodated in hotels pending allotment of quarters. The total amount authorised up to 28th June for the hotel accommodation of officers at Wiesbaden was 78,558 gold marks.
