§ 12. Mr. BRIANTasked what staff is employed for the work of the titles and Designations Committee; what is the rent of the premises in Whitehall Court used for this purpose, and what is the number of rooms.; how long this Committee has been in existence; and how long it is expected to be required?
§ Mr. FORSTERThe staff employed on the work of the titles and Designations Committee numbers two (an officer as secretary and an ex-soldier clerk). The rent of the six-roomed flat in Whitehall Court used for this purpose is paid by the Office of Works and is, I understand, £350 a year. The Committee, however, was only given, the use of these premises till other accommodation became available, and arrangements have been made for its early removal, when the flat will be surrendered to the Office of Works. The Committee was appointed in October and has recently started work, but I cannot at present say how long its work will last.
