§ Lieut.-Colonel WHITEasked the First Commissioner of Works if No. 30, Belgrave Square has lately been taken over as offices for certain Government Departments; and, if so, whether he will state the rental paid and explain the necessity of engaging premises in so expensive a locality?
§ Sir A. MONDThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, the rental is £600 per annum and, as I have already stated in answer to previous questions, no cheaper alternative accommodation was available, but I will look into the matter again.
