Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Works whether Mr. Raymond Erith, F.R.I.B.A., has been instructed to draw up plans for the reconstruction of Nos. 10–12 Downing Street, on the specific basis of the recommendations in paragraphs 23–26 of the Crawford Report; when it is hoped to receive his plans; and when the Government propose to take action to implement them.
§ Mr. MolsonMr. Erith is being instructed to draw up preliminary plans in accordance with these recommendations of the Crawford Report. I hope that sketch plans will be ready within 119W the next few months, but the preparatory work will take at least eighteen months to complete and I am not able to say at this stage when the plans will be implemented.
