The quarters provided are a reception room for visitors, and a study for the President which can be used as an occasional bedroom, and a similar room for the President's aide-de-camp. The total cost of adapting and furnishing these bed-sitting rooms is £110. No extra staff will be employed, nor will there be any increase in cost of maintenance.
