§ 84. Mr. Piratinasked the Minister of Works whether he is aware that provision for a new day nursery was included in the licence for £51,000 issued to the Regent Palace Hotel for restoration of the annexe, which was war damaged; that supplemental licences were subsequently granted to strip this work, which was nearing completion under licence, and reconstruct it as hotel accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the reasons for granting these supplemental licences.
§ Mr. KeyNo. No provision for a day nursery was included in the original licences granted to the Regent Palace Hotel. The supplementary licences were in respect of the additional cost of the work already licensed.
