§ DR. CAMERON (Glasgow, College)asked the Postmaster General, Whether he has yet been able to take any steps for ameliorating the accommodation of the Savings Bank employés in the Savings Bank Department in the temporary premises in Queen Victoria Street and Knightrider Street, or the mitigation of the annoyance of which they complain from the noise and vibration of adjacent machinery, and want of sufficient air, space, and ventilation?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)I have to state that the First Commissioner of Works has carried out measures for improving the ventilation in the premises in Queen Victoria Street temporarily occupied by a portion of the staff of the Savings Bank, and that it has been found possible to reduce the number of officers who are required to work there. Thus a considerable improvement has been effected. As regards the premises in Knightrider Street, I may say that I trust shortly to be able to obtain some other premises which will afford better accommodation. Meanwhile, an effort will be made to mitigate the effect of the vibration caused by adjacent machinery as far as possible.
