§ Sir V. BOWATERasked the Undersecretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether he is aware that the accommodation provided for the City 26th tax district, Salisbury House, London, E.C., is the subject of dissatisfaction on the part of the staff; and whether he can take any steps to remedy the overcrowded condition of the offices, the shortage of storage accommodation and the defective lighting which exists in these offices?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI am aware that the accommodation provided for the City 26th Tax District, Salisbury House, is not wholly satisfactory. A reallocation of the Inland Revenue staffs in Salisbury House has been delayed pending consideration of a scheme for the regrouping of certain City tax districts, but if this scheme is unduly delayed the First Commissioner will consider the possibility of affording temporary relief to the staffs in question.
