HC Deb 24 November 1930 vol 245 c887
40. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the reconstruction at Whitehall will involve provision for an increased number of civil servants; and for how many persons accommodation will be provided?

Mr. LANSBURY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. In regard to the second part, I anticipate that it will be possible to provide accommodation in the new building for approximately 7,500 persons.

Captain EDEN

Is it still intended to proceed with this heavy expenditure?

Mr. LANSBURY

I think you had better wait and see.

HON. MEMBERS

Oh!
