§ Mr. WHITEasked the First Commissioner of Works whether any progress has been made since April, 1930, in the negotiations for suitable alternative accommodation for the inspectors of taxes and their staffs at Birkenhead?
§ Mr. LANSBURYI regret that the original negotiations, which were started in April last, for the hire of suitable 817W accommodation for the Birkenhead Tax Offices, have proved abortive, and an alternative scheme of rehousing is now under consideration. Every effort has, in the meantime, been made to relieve, as far as possible, the congestion in the existing accommodation.
