§ Colonel Medlicottasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that Mr. H. Bettis, a disabled ex-Service man, is still awaiting possession of his bungalow at Sea Palling, Norfolk, despite assurances given by the Admiralty some months ago that it would be released to him within a reasonable time; and will he give such instructions as will fulfil the promise made?
Mr. AlexanderI regret that it has not yet been possible to give Mr. Bettis possession of his bungalow. The undertaking to release the property was given on the proviso that it would be given up when alternative accommodation was available. This was unfortunately delayed by circumstances beyond the Admiralty's control but it is now hoped to release the bungalow to Mr. Bettis not later than the end of January.
