§ Mr. Neubertasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the reply by the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection to the hon. Member for Romford on 7th April 1978, Official Report, c. 2500, what are the comparative annual costs of the present accommodation of the Department of Prices at the Millbank Tower, SW1, compared to the previous annual costs of the Department of Prices at 1 Victoria Street.
§ Mr. MarksThe respective figures are £107,000 at 1 Victoria Street and £280,000 at Millbank Tower. The accommodation at Millbank Tower was already held on the estate, and the difference in the costs largely reflects the fact that the leases were negotiated at different times.
