31. Marquess of TITCHFIELDasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he is aware that the Newark tax office is cold, badly ventilated, badly lighted, and insanitary; and whether he is prepared either to take now offices or to put the present, ones in a habitable condition?
§ Captain HACKING (Under-Secretary of State for Home Affairs)I am advised that the premises referred to are in reasonably satisfactory condition. No complaints have been received from the Inland Revenue Department, who recently agreed to the retention of the offices until the expiry of the lease in 1928.
