HC Deb 18 November 1952 vol 507 c155W
100. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government why the grants to the London Hostels Association increased from £70,000 in 1951–52 to £80,000 in 1952–53.

Mr. Marples

The provision made in the estimates for 1951–52 and 1952–53 was for the cost of adaptation of premises. It was expected that a greater amount of conversion work would be undertaken in the later year.
