HC Deb 12 August 1966 vol 733 cc450-1W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works why he has agreed to hire a part of a prestige building of 15 floors in Cardiff, at a rent of 22s. 6d. per square foot against the 15s. to 17s. 6d. per square foot generally available in Cardiff for ordinary non-prestige buildings; and whether he will review this in the light of Her Majesty's Government's drive for economy, so far as Government and private expenditure is concerned.

Mr. Prentice

This was the only office accommodation in Wales of sufficient size available by the time required to house the office of the Board of Trade Investment Grant Administration which is to serve Wales.
