§ 62. Mr. A. R. KENNEDYasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether his attention has been called to the state of the office accommodation at Preston of the three Preston tax districts; and what steps he is taking in the matter?
§ Captain HACKING(for The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS): The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The re-allocation of the premises in which the tax districts are housed is now under discussion with the Inland Revenue Department, and it is hoped that a scheme for remedying the defects will be settled at an early date.
