§ 22. Sir J. AGG-GARDNERasked the First Commissioner of Works if, before steps for the wholesale eviction of the tenants in Kingsway were taken by his Department, any effort was made to discover other premises suitable for the purpose required; and if he can give an estimate of the expenses likely to be incurred in meeting claims for compensation arising out of the evictions?
§ The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Sir Alfred Mond)The most strenuous efforts have been made for many months to find the most suitable and most economical accommodation for the various requirements. I am not in a position to offer any opinion on the probable cost of meeting claims for compensation.
