NEW GOVERNMENT OFFICES
BIG BUILDING SCHEME,
(Official Wireless.)
(Received this day at 12.25. p.m.) RUGBY, Sept, 15.
The Government decision to build the new Government offices in Whitehall is being embodied, in a measure which Parliament, will he asked to approve early in the coming sesson. The scheme affects the embankment,side of Whitehall and Montague House, now occupied by the Ministry of Labour, Pembroke House occupied by the Transport Ministry. The offices of the Cabinet and all Whitehall Gardens will be involved. At present several Departments, such as Air, Education and Agriculture have outlying sections, while the existing accommodaton of some of the Government offices in Whitehall are inadequate and imperfec-t. Although the scheme, which will be effected in sections, will involve large expendture, it is claimed that it will eventually result in economy by the sale of leases which become available and the saving of rents how paid for office accommodation ill West London and elsewhere. There will also be a gain in efficiency through centralisation of departmental activities,
