HC Deb 17 March 1952 vol 497 cc183-4W
Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

asked the Minister of Works if, in his efforts to lower the cost of cleaning Government buildings, he will introduce the use of mechanical cleaners and polishers more rapidly.

Mr. Eccles

While occupying Departments are responsible for their own cleaning arrangements, my Ministry advises on the use of appliances and supplies mechanical cleaners and polishers for Government buildings where the size and condition make their use appropriate. I am advised that these appliances are being used in adequate numbers.
