HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 cc2077-8W
Mr. Vernon Bartlett

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what plans are being made with the Hotel and Restaurant Proprietors' Association to take over rooms for the accommodation of foreign diplomats and foreign business men.

Mr. Noel-Baker

The importance of making hotel accommodation available for official foreign visitors has been urged upon the hotel managements, and thanks to the co-operation which they have given it is being found possible to go a long way towards meeting the needs as they arise. His Majesty's Government are appreciative of this co-operation, being alive to the inconvenience caused both to the hotels and to their clients. If that co-operation is increased and maintained all requirements should be met.
