HC Deb 28 March 1938 vol 333 c1625
49. Sir N. Grattan-Doyle

asked the First Commissioner of Works what steps are being taken by his Department to bring the condition of Government offices into conformity with the standard required by the Public Health Act, 1936?

Sir P. Sassoon

The administration of the Public Health Act, 1936, is the responsibility of local authorities and the Act provides that a local authority may agree with the appropriate Government Department that any provisions of the Act shall apply to a Crown property. I have received no application for an agreement in pursuance of this provision in respect of any Government offices.
