HC Deb 20 February 1888 vol 322 c865
MR. J. ROWLANDS (Finsbury, E.)

asked the First Commissioner of Works, When building operations will be commenced on the site that has been cleared in St. Martin's-le-Grand; and, whether he will have them started as soon as possible, in order to give employment to some of the men now out of work in the building trades?

THE FIRST COMMISSIONER (Mr. PLUNKET) (Dublin University)

Treasury sanction has now been obtained for the works at St. Martin's-le-Grand, and they shall be commenced as soon as possible; but some time must be occupied in getting working drawings and entering into a contract; but there shall be no unnecessary delay.
