The former allotment to the War Cabinet Offices has been reduced, as Sir Edward Bridges decided, in view of the scarcity of accommodation in the building, not to press for the return of the Central Statistical Office.

Home Forces, amounting, to 11,700 sq. ft., it is proposed that this shall be allocated to the War Cabinet for the concentration of their Joint Planning and Intelligence Organisation.
