HC Deb 20 March 1933 vol 276 c43
61. Mr. BANFIELD

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware of the inconvenience, both to the public and the staff, resulting from the inadequacy and overcrowding of the existing tax offices at Newton Abbot; and whether he will consider the provision of alternative accommodation?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Complaints were made some time ago regarding congestion of accommodation for staff. The premises are not altogether satisfactory but the present lease cannot be broken until 1935, when the question of rehousing will be considered. In any event I am informed that there are no suitable alternative premises available at the present time.
