Carlton House Terrace (Hansard, 20 July 1954)

HC Deb 20 July 1954 vol 530 c1165 1165

§ 43. Mr. Grimond
asked the Minister of Works when the reconstruction of Carlton House Terrace will start.

§ Sir D. Eccles
No decision has been reached. The matter will be reviewed later in the year.

§ Mr. Grimond
Can the Minister say whether plans have now been finally approved, and, if so, whether it is simply a matter of the expenditure that is holding it up? If not, what are the reasons for the delay?

§ Sir D. Eccles
Plans are about 50 per cent. completed. Certainly it is a question of finance as to when any building can start.
