§ Mr. W. BROWNasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that part of the staff of the Accountant-General's department, General Post Office, is housed in an old workhouse in Endell Street and another part in an old factory in Leonard Street, Finsbury; that, in spite of the expenditure of a good deal of money on this accommodation, the 'accommodation remains generally unsuitable for clerical work; and whether he will take steps to obtain suitable accommodation for the work of this section of his Department?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHIt is correct that the premises occupied by sections of the Accountant-General's department at Endell Street and Leonard Street were originally 'a workhouse and a factory, respectively; but the improvements that 267W have been carried out have, it is considered, made the accommodation reasonably fit for the purpose for which it is used.
