Mrs. Lena Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his estimate of the amount of unoccupied office space in London to the latest convenient date; what is the area at present under construction; and for what area planning permission has been given but building not started.

Mr. Peyton

The GLC's estimate of unoccupied space in February was a maximum of 9 million sq. ft. At March, 1971, 5.2 million sq. ft. was under construction and planning permission had been given, but construction not started, for 9.5 million sq. ft.
