MR. MITCHELL-HENRYasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether any steps have been taken or will be taken, at the Home Office, to improve the accommodation for the reception of deputations?
§ MR. GERARD NOELIn answer, Sir, to the Question of the hon. Gentleman, I am happy to inform him that, with the consent of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department, an arrangement will at once be made to improve the accommodation for the reception of deputations. The present reception room will be considerably enlarged by adding to it one of the adjoining rooms. I trust this will be found to be satisfactory, and afford ample accommodation for the large and important deputations which attend the Home Office.
