HC Deb 04 July 1949 vol 466 c123W
3. Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Works how much money has been spent on converting Wells House Hotel, Ilkley, for the use of the Ministry of Labour; how long has this accommodation been unused; and what steps are being taken to put this accommodation to some useful purpose.

Mr. Key

The cost of adapting Wells House Hotel, Ilkley, and retaining it in a state of readiness for use as a hostel for textile workers, was£18,200. The premises were prepared for this purpose in September, 1948, and have not since been used. They are now being de-requisitioned.
