§ 63. Mr. Edward Evansasked the Minister of Health if he will reconsider his decision to override the objection of the Lowestoft Town Council to the conversion of Lyndhurst, Gordon Road, Lowestoft, into offices for the new rating and valuation department of the Board of Inland Revenue; why alternative accommodation suggested by the council was considered unsuitable; and, in view of the serious housing situation in Lowestoft, whether he will now agree to return the four flats involved to domestic use.
§ Mr. BevanIt is essential that the valuation offices should be ready to operate before the end of this year. All the alternative premises suggested by the town council were unsuitable because of size, construction, or position.
