§ Mr. Tiffanyasked the Minister of Works at what dates were suggestions made by the Committee of Education for Poles as to alterations and renovations to the Technical School at Lilford; when were plans submitted to carry out the suggested renovations; and what was the estimated cost of such alterations and renovations.
§ Mr. KeyThe Committee for the Education of Poles in Great Britain first94W submitted on 30th June a list of the works they wished my Department to undertake at Lilford Hall. It was, however, impossible to meet their wishes without explanatory sketches, which the Committee supplied on 30th July. The preparation of working drawings was immediately started. Some time was taken in agreeing details with the Committee but on 21st October the drawings were completed and £30,725 was notified to the Committee as the estimated cost. With a view to reducing the cost by omitting some of the work originally asked for, there have been further meetings with the Committee, the last of which took place on 15th November. As a result, the estimated cost will be reduced by about £10,000, but it is not yet possible to state the exact amount.
