HC Deb 26 June 1951 vol 489 c125W
101. Mr. Marples

asked the Minister of Works whether he will now make a statement on the services provided by his staff in India based on the recent inspection of the work there.

Mr. G. Brown

The staff in New Delhi are concerned with the hiring, adaptation, maintenance and furnishing of office and residential accommodation for all United Kingdom civil staffs in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Burma and Ceylon. The work has now decreased, and I have been able to reduce the staff by nine.
