HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 c61W
63. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Transport what action he proposes to take to ensure the continuance of a sailor's hostel at Alexandria, the lease of the present premises having expired.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The sailors' club at Alexandria, which is run by a local Merchant Navy Welfare Society, is on land leased to the Society by the Alexandria Harbour Board. Last January the Board informed the Society that the lease would be cancelled. Negotiations are however taking place between the Society and the Board, and meanwhile the club continues to operate normally.
