§ 114. Mr. McGovernasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will inquire into the question of requisitioning the Conservative Club, Bothwell Street, Glasgow, and turning it into working class flats or a commodious hostel, in view of the fact that it is not used nowadays to any great extent and that this large building would be willingly surrendered, due to the need for accommodation in Glasgow.
§ Mr. BuchananI am not personally acquainted with the club referred to, but I have approached the proprietors to see whether they are prepared to make it available in the interests of providing accommodation for the working classes. I am informed that the premises are fully occupied' and used, and that the proprietors are not prepared to surrender them for housing purposes.
