§ 75. Mr. A. V. ALEXANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he is aware of the unsuitable nature of the building in which the staffs of the third, fourth, seventh and eighth tax districts are housed at Sheffield, both from the point of view of the staff and the public; that it has been common for elderly persons seeking interviews as to their taxation liabilities to collapse before arriving at the third or fourth floors; and whether he will arrange for more suitable accommodation?
§ Captain HACKINGThe First Commissioner is aware that certain rooms on the third floor of the building are unsatisfactory, and schemes for improving matters are under consideration. It should not be necessary for the public to visit the fourth floor, and no complaints of distress to visitors to the third floor have been received.
§ Mr. ALEXANDERIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that there is a very large building in course of construction now for Government telephone purposes where alternative accommodation is available, and will be consider using that for the staff in Sheffield?
§ Captain HACKINGCertainly I will consider that.
