HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 c1239
16. Mr. Martin Lindsay

asked the Minister of Works for what purpose the large constructional work between Duke Street and King Street, St. James', is being undertaken; and what is the value of the licence granted.

Mr. Eccles

I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to Christies' premises at 8, King Street, St. James', where the auction galleries, store-rooms and offices are being rebuilt after war damage. A licence for £205,625 was granted in May, 1951, for this work.
