HC Deb 17 December 1929 vol 233 c1222W
Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the Government are in occupation of any premises, other than those on the ground floor, at the corner of Dorset Street and Baker Street, Marylebone; whether there has been or is being paid any monetary or other consideration from the public purse in respect of all or part of the premises; and whether there is an intention to vacate these offices?

Mr. LANSBURY

The Imperial War Graves Commission occupy all the upper floors of these premises, for which a rent is being paid. In regard to the last part of the question, it is proposed to vacate these offices next year.

Mr. WARDLAW-MILNE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the Government have any remaining interest in the empty ground-floor offices in the premises at the corner of Dorset Street and Baker Street, Marylebone; and, if so, whether any attempt has been or is being made to realise the value of such interest?

Mr. LANSBURY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative, and the second part does not, therefore, arise.
