HC Deb 10 October 1944 vol 403 cc1585-6W
Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied with the present condition of a house, to which his attention has been drawn; and whether he can give an estimate of the amount of public money needed to restore it to the same condition as it was in before occupation by his Department.

Sir J. Grigg

I understand that the house itself is not in a bad state. The gardens have been neglected owing to the illness of the gardener and to the shortage of labour, and the drive has suffered severely from military traffic. I regret that the figure asked for by my hon. Friend is not available.
