HC Deb 12 April 1961 vol 638 c237
35. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Minister of Works if the new offices at Norodom for the British Embassy in Saigon have yet been completed; and whether the staff will now have the benefit of air-conditioning.

The Minister of Works (Lord John Hope)

The offices are now under construction and should be completed in the early summer of next year They will be fully air-conditioned.

Mr. Davies

I thank the Minister for that Answer. The staff working on our behalf in these difficult climates will at last have conditions which compare a little with the American Embassy in that area. I am grateful that the Question which I tabled about two years ago has been followed up practically.
