§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Undersecretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the First Commissioner of Works, whether early steps are contemplated to remedy the overcrowding at the Charing Cross Tax District Office, 13, Grosvenor Gardens, S.W. 1, where the staffs are housed in dirty, draughty, and badly-heated premises, and to provide premises more acceptable to taxpayers, who at present have to climb either four or six flights of stairs to interview the officers dealing with their case, and who, as no rooms 1430W are provided for confidential interviews, have to deal with private affairs before other officers of the Department, and frequently other members of the public?
§ Captain HACKINGIt is proposed to remedy the conditions at 13, Grosvenor Gardens by removing elsewhere at an early date the Piccadilly Tax District Office from that building, and re-allocating the accommodation of the two remaining district offices.
