Carlton House Terrace

43.

Mr. Grimond
asked the Minister of Works when the reconstruction of Carlton House Terrace will start.

Sir D. Eccles
No decision has been reached. The matter will be reviewed later in the year.

Mr. Grimond
Can the Minister say whether plans have now been finally approved, and, if so, whether it is simply a matter of the expenditure that is holding it up? If not, what are the reasons for the delay?

Sir D. Eccles
Plans are about 50 per cent. completed. Certainly it is a question of finance as to when any building can start.
