68. Mr. PALMER (for Mr. PERRY)asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that the accommodation provided for His Majesty's Inspector of Taxes and staff at Dalkeith Place, Kettering, is inadequate and unsatisfactory, particularly as regards the entrance, heating, lighting, ventilation and lavatory accommodation; and whether it is proposed to secure alternative accommodation?
§ Mr. LANSBURYI am satisfied that the accommodation in question is adequate and satisfactory except as regards lavatory accommodation, and steps are being taken to remedy this defect. I may add that the total staff of this office is three less than it was when the premises were originally occupied in 1924. The answer to the second part of the question is in the negative.
