§ 2. Mr. Molsonasked the Minister of Works for what Government Departments he is seeking to acquire sites in Central London and the suburbs; what will be the area of accommodation in each case; over how many years the construction will be spread; and how this expenditure will fit into the Government's investment programme.
§ Mr. KeyFurther sites are required in London to complete the programme of office building which is necessary to enable my Ministry to release premises now held on requisition for office purposes. This programme amounts to about 5½ million square feet, of which 2½ million is in Central London and 3 million in the suburbs. Rather over half of this is already in hand. The whole programme will be spread over about four years. Detailed allocations of the buildings are not yet settled. The expenditure on this programme is within the limits imposed by the Government's investment programme.
§ Mr. MolsonCould the Minister give us further particulars of the additional programme which has already been undertaken?
§ Mr. MolsonAs a matter of fact, I did give the notice in my Question. If I may, therefore, and with your permission, Mr. Speaker, I will repeat the Question, and the Minister will perhaps give me the full information which has not been given in his answer.
