HC Deb 24 April 1951 vol 487 cc29-30W
14. Mr. Steward

asked the Secretary of State for War what was the nature and value of the damage already suffered by the Excelsior Hotel, St. Margaret's Bay, Kent, at the time it was requisitioned by his Department in 1940.

Mr. Strachey

This property was requisitioned in April, 1942, and not in 1940. There had then been slight war damage relating mainly to windows and plaster and barbed wire entanglements had been placed on the property.
