§ 59. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the hon. Member for the Pollok Division of Glasgow, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, what is the annual cost in rent and upkeep of the Board of Education Inspector's office in Old Queen Street?
§ Sir J. GILMOUR, (for the First Commissioner of Works)The annual cost of outgoings in respect of these premises is estimated at £423 per annum. No rent is paid, as the premises are Crown freehold.
§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKCould not the premises be let for other purposes? Are not the premises in Whitehall sufficiently large to hold the whole staff?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI do not think at the present moment that would be advantageous.
