Whitehall really too small for PM

THE EDITOR: Having worked at Whitehall many years ago, I cannot agree with Mr Manning more that the building is too small for the Prime Minister’s office and staff.

In my opinion there are two options available to settle the current problem viz The Prime Minister’s office could be located at a new building on the former Princess Building grounds and leave the Red House for the use of the Parliament. Conversely, a new building could be erected on the said Princess Building grounds for the Parliament. To remove the Magistrates’ Court from its present location, and acquire all those buildings on the block as suggested by the Prime Minister for the building of the Parliament, would involve a colossal use of money. Talking about money, what about the increase in National Insurance Pensions as promised by the Prime Minister?
