HC Deb 22 February 1926 vol 192 c28
86. Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether his Department stores any furniture used by war-time Departments now coming to an end; and whether in that case it is, for the purposes of economy, used to fit out new sections of Departments which may be brought into existence by fresh legislation?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for HOME AFFAIRS (Captain Douglas Hacking)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; returned furniture, when of suitable type and condition, is reissued for use by additional staffs.
