Each floor has a differ ent floor plan, No rooms were numbered as expected that the only gulde contained in the number of the room one sought wa the first digit, which repre sented the number of floor on which that room was located, For example, all numbers from 100 to 199 were on the ground floor, and all numbers from 400 to 30% on the drd floor or NO HELP But apart fram that the num bers were of no help For ex ample, Prime Minister Dieton baker's office was numbered 01 but It almost next door to Works Howard Green whose office was numbered HE immediately beneath Mr Green was Transport Minister Hees whose office was not numbered as one might have expected, 303 but was 273.

For example, on the th floor, numbers * ON to {ON cover rooms on the north corridor; 4008 to 4008 cover the rooms on | south corridor; and a third series from 400-400 has various letters A, B, C, and so on added, to cover rooms on the north-south corridors BUT TRAPS REMAIN Thus there are three rooms numbered 448. 4468 Is the office of Robert Lafrerieve, MP for Quebec Montmoreney, 446N {x the office of Defence Production Mins ister O'Hurley, 440D ix the office of John Kucherepa, MP for Tors onto-High Park But Mr. Kucherepa has a cor ner office, with doors giving out onto two corridors.
