HC Deb 21 May 1946 vol 423 c44W
86. Mr. Gooch

asked the Minister of Works if he will modify the present conditions regarding priority of building materials so as to enable the owners of hotels and boarding houses at Cromer, Norfolk, which have been occupied by the military authorities or closed during the war, to proceed with necessary renovations.

Mr. Tomlinson

Existing arrangements already make provision for cases where work upon derequisitioned premises would result in an increase of dwelling accommodation. In present circumstances I do not think it would be justifiable to grant any general priority for work upon hotels and boarding houses.
