Mr. Milburn

There are no plans to refurbish ministerial offices in the Department, but, as part of a plan to improve working conditions in Richmond house, comfort cooling is being installed throughout the building including three ministerial rooms at a cost of £17,178. The work is likely to be completed by the end of August.
