HC Deb 22 July 1981 vol 9 cc187-8W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what buildings, if any, will be pulled down to make way for the extension of the Tate Gallery; how much any demolition will cost; and who will bear the cost.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The new extension to the Tate Gallery will involve the demolition of the two southern ward blocks of the old Queen Alexandra military hospital. Demolition is expected to cost £60,000. Along with the costs of construction it will be met by the Clore Foundation.
