§ Mr. John Mooreasked the Minister for the Civil Service how many people are expected to use the facilities provided in the new Government Press offices in Little St. James Street, London, S.W.I.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI have been asked to reply.
No precise estimate can be given. During the next six months the premises will be used extensively during the ministerial meetings at Lancaster House in connection with EEC, Commonwealth and NATO meetings. For major meetings up to 600 people might use the facilities. In the longer term the premises will be used for any similar occasions and for conference uses and will be very much in demand.
