§ 111. Mr. MacLeodasked the Secretary of State for War why three firemen are permitted to feed continuously a high pressure boiler at the Highland Hotel, Strathpeffer, to provide heating for two soldiers' families.
§ Mr. M. StewartThis hotel is used as a hostel for homeless Service families returning from overseas. The central heating system, which is the only form of heating in the hostel, has to be used whatever the number of families in residence. It is stoked by three firemen working in shifts of eight hours. There are now six families in residence, in addition to the permanent staff, and the hostel will be filled to capacity as further families arrive from overseas.
