HC Deb 01 February 1977 vol 925 c127W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total expenditure currently approved for carpeting corridors in Government offices at City House, Leeds; and what is the purpose of this expenditure.

Mr. Marks

The total cost is likely to be £1,150. The existing vinyl asbestos tiles have reached the end of their effective life, and replacement will cost less by fibre-bonded carpet than by either vinyl tiles or linoleum taking both capital and maintenance costs into account.
