HC Deb 18 February 1964 vol 689 c167W
4. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what will be the greatest height reached by any part of the new Post Office Headquarters in the vicinity of St. Martin's le Grand; and what the approximate horizontal distance will be from this highest part to the nearest point of St. Paul's Cathedral.

Mr. Sharples

No decision has yet been reached regarding the new Post Office Headquarters. A scheme with a maximum height not greater than 100 feet is at present under consideration. In this scheme the approximate horizontal distance from the highest part to the nearest point of St. Paul's Cathedral would be about 700 feet.
