asked the First Commissioner of Works what additional accommodation has been provided in Paris for Government Departments since the outbreak of war, whether by new constructions or by commandeering of existing buildings?

I have been asked to reply to this question. No additional accommodation has been taken in Paris so far as the Office of Works is concerned.

I think the hon. Member is mistaken. He says no additional accommodation has been taken in Paris so far as the Office of Works is concerned. I did not ask what additional accommodation had been taken in Paris so far as the Office of Works is concerned, but what additional accommodation had been taken in Paris by the French Government.

The hon. Member answered for his Department; he cannot answer for others.
