§ The Minister of Public Building and Works (Mr. Robert Mellish)I am considering plans for the Waterloo Block at the Tower which include provision for a dual-purpose lecture room cinema.
§ Mr. JacksonI thank my right hon. Friend for that very satisfactory reply. May I take it that he is considering this matter as one of urgency?
§ Mr. MellishAt the moment we are involved in what is called phase one of the rebuilding and the two top floors are being converted. I understand that this is due to be completed by the end of 1970. The work to which I have referred in my main Answer is phase two. My problem is to get the money to do the job.
