§ 120. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Works if he is aware that considerable structural alterations are being made to the Sackville Club, Cullum Street, London, involving building material and labour amounting to £6,000; and by whose authority the licence was granted to carry out this work.
§ Mr. TomlinsonLicences for work costing £1,392 were granted earlier in the year to the Sackville Club, Cullum Street, E.C.3, by my Regional Licensing Officer. I am advised that the work, which has now been completed, has not exceeded the expenditure authorised.
§ 124. Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Works, why preferential treatment was given in July for fittings to Lord Hyndley's house at Chelsea; and, in view of the fact that the non-essential nature of the work was brought to the notice of the Minister of Health at his request, what fittings were licensed; what is the present position; and if he will take disciplinary action against the person who issued the licences.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe fitting of wash basins into four of the six bedrooms at this house was authorised as it was considered that the special service to which this accommodation was to be put justified the issue of a licence and no question of preferential treatment arose. The work has been completed. No disciplinary action is called for.
