HOUSE OF COMMONS TERRACE.

HC Deb 22 June 1938 vol 337 cc1079-80

79. Mr. Perkins

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he will consider raising the level of the Terrace?

The First Commissioner of Works (Sir Philip Sassoon)

Yes, Sir; but in view of the heavy cost involved—some £7,000 or £8,000—I propose to defer the work until such time as major repair to the Terrace paving becomes necessary.

Mr. Perkins

Can the First Commissioner tell us when it will be necessary for this work to be done? Sir P. Sassoon: When the pavement becomes bad enough.
