HC Deb 20 May 1980 vol 985 cc147-8W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish details of the scheme planned jointly by his Department and the Scottish Development Agency at St. Enoch station site in Glasgow; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The Property Services Agency has collaborated with the Scottish Development Agency in producing proposals for office accommodation for 1,400 Ministry of Defence staff on the central part of the site of the former St. Enoch Station. Planning of this scheme is at the outline stage, and details of the design have still to be formulated. Proposals for the development of the remaining part of the St. Enoch site are a matter for the Scottish Development Agency.

Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he intends to invite proposals from private devel- opers for the £15 million office complex at St. Enoch station, Glasgow; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The method of funding of the office buildings for the Ministry of Defence at St. Enoch is still under consideration. The possibility of involving private developers will be kept very much in mind.
