§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total annual cost in rent, maintenance and services of office and storage accommodation for Government Departments in England, Scotland and Wales, respectively.
§ Mr. MarksThe expenditure falling on the Vote of my Department is £147.6 million, £10.9 million, and £6 million for 611W England and Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales respectively. This excludes expenditure on the accommodation of those agencies of central Government which are responsible for their own accommodation costs, but includes a small amount of expenditure on miscellaneous accommodation such as research buildings and laboratories which cannot be identified without disproportionate cost.
