Property (Purchase and Adaptation)

HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c248W

Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a breakdown of the £700,000 appearing in the Civil Estimates, 1966–67, Class IX, 3, Appendix II, under the heading Various Posts: Purchase and Adaptation of Property.

Mr. Prentice

It is not the practice to disclose the price paid to, or under negotiation with, private vendors. I expect that significant savings will be made in this provision.
