§ 9. Mr. Priorasked the Minister of Public Building and Works why adequate heating has not yet been installed at 102–104 London Road North, Lowestoft, in the occupation of the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance; why his officials did not meet the trades union representatives when they visited the offices; and what further action he will take to remedy the heating defects.
§ Mr. BoydenI am sorry that there have been difficulties over heating these premises. The lessors are responsible for the heating of the whole building. They have recently arranged for regular maintenance of the plant and are being pressed to carry out an immediate overhaul. Officials of the Ministry were not asked to meet union representatives.
