HC Deb 29 March 1949 vol 463 c100W
74. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Works how many licences have been applied for to his Department, or issued by him to enable the conditions of working men's hotels and common lodging houses in Glasgow to be improved.

Mr. Key

Fourteen licences to a value of about £23,000 have been issued by my Department during the past two years for extensions, repairs and decorations to working men's hostels and lodging houses in Glasgow. These figures do not include work carried out by the Corporation of Glasgow upon its own hostels since that work does not require a licence from me.
