HC Deb 24 December 1929 vol 233 c2164W
Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether any Government staff is still employed in Sanctuary Buildings, Westminster; and, if so, whether he can see his way, in the interests of economy, to vacate these premises and transfer the staff to disused offices vacated by Government, distant not less than five miles from Charing Cross?

Mr. LANSBURY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. In regard to the second part, these premises are still required for official headquarters staffs who must be housed centrally. I am not aware of the disused offices vacated by the Government, to which the hon. Member refers.
