HC Deb 24 March 1949 vol 463 c54W
57. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amount of money paid from Government funds to London hotels during 1948 in respect of reservation fees and of rooms booked and not occupied.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No reservation fee was paid. Charges for rooms booked and not occupied are extremely rare. During 1948 the only such charge recorded was for £24 6s.
