HC Deb 17 December 1942 vol 385 c2107W
Sir H. Williams

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works and Planning whether all alternatives were considered before it was decided to requisition the residence of Earl Baldwin?

Mr. Hicks

The hon. Member has been misinformed. The requisitioning of Astley Hall has never been under consideration by my Department nor, so far as I can ascertain, by any other Department.
