HC Deb 07 May 1959 vol 605 c59W
18. Mrs. Skeffington

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has completed his discussions with the Government Chemist about Cornwall House; and if he will give an assurance that no work will be undertaken there to convert office space into laboratories in view of the condemnation of this property as a laboratory by the Linstead Committee.

Mr. Simon

As I have already announced in my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Bodmin (Mr. D. Marshall), on 4th May, the Government Chemist's Department will be placed wider the charge of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research from 1st July. I am informed that the Council is considering the question of the future accommodation for the Department.
