HC Deb 20 February 1877 vol 232 cc736-7
SIR CHARLES RUSSELL

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether some arrangement cannot be made for placing on all Government offices in a conspicuous place the names of such office, with a view to giving facilities to the public who have business to transact there?

MR. GERARD NOEL

, in reply, said, he must admit that it was difficult for the public to distinguish one public office from another, a small brass plate being in most cases their only guide. He had therefore given orders to have the names of the different offices traced distinctly over the doors, by which means he hoped the inconvenience at present felt would be obviated.
