HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 c622W
Sir P. Macdonald

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how many hotels are still requisitioned by his Department; and whether, in view of the lack of holiday accommodation, any accelerated programme of release is to be applied.

Mr. Strachey

288 hotels, boarding houses and the like are still under requisition. Some of these will be required for some time for the accommodation of Dominion airmen returning home, but a considerable number will be released during the coming months.
