HC Deb 18 August 1919 vol 119 c1978W
Mr. J. JONES

asked the First Commissioner of Works what are the duties of a district clerk of works; and what is his relative position to a superintendent of a Government building?

Mr. CECIL BECK

The Office of Works employs no officers who are designated superintendents of Government buildings. The erection of a new building or an extensive alteration of an existing building is supervised by a clerk of works employed for the job. A district clerk of works supervises all ordinary works of maintenance at existing buildings in the area comprised in his district.
