HC Deb 06 February 1967 vol 740 cc216-7W
85. Mr. Hogg

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Government of Upper Volta now owe £1,790 3s. 5d. back rent for their embassy at 60 Portland Place, W.1; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. William Rodgers

Yes. The Foreign Office are continuing to act as intermediary between the owners' agents and the Upper Volta Government. The payment of the previous instalment of rent was arranged through this channel, and there is therefore reason to expect that payment of the sum now outstanding also will be obtained.
