§ Lieutenant - Colonel ARCHER-SHEEasked the First Commissioner of Works when Balfour House, Finsbury Pavement, will be available for its original tenants; whether he is aware that there are several tenants with offices with long leases in this building who are suffering great inconvenience owing to the commandeering of their offices; and that this particular office is occupied by the staff of the casualty branch whose work is now very largely diminished?
§ Sir ALFRED MONDAs regards the last part of the question, these promises, although originally required for the Casualties Branch of the War Office, are now utilised for other War Office staffs, and are fully occupied. I am unable to state when the premises will be available for the original tenants. I can assure the hon. and gallant Member that as soon as I am in a position to do so, I will release the premises from Government occupation.
