§ Mr. SAMUEL SAMUELasked the Prime Minister whether it is definitely decided to move certain temporary offices created during the War to Neasden to accommodate many thousands of Government employés; has the Government considered the question of accommodation in the neighbourhood for such employés and their families; if he is aware that it would be impossible for employés living in all parts of London and suburbs to reach Neasden in time for office hours; if he has considered the increase for travelling which would be imposed on employés; if any arrangements are being made to compensate for the extra cost; will he consider an alternative proposal to erect buildings in London itself in a district where land is not as valuable as at Whitehall, but which is accessible from all parts of London and the suburbs; and if he will appoint a Committee of the House of Commons to study the question so as to save the taxpayer?
§ Sir ALFRED MONDThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The whole subject, however, is under the consideration of the War Cabinet Committee on Accommodation, who will be glad to receive any information on the subject which the hon. Member hag to offer.
