HC Deb 07 April 1982 vol 21 cc366-7W
Mr. William Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the dispute as to the liability for the repairs needed at the Inland Revenue premises, Park Court, Coventry, will be resolved.

Sir George Young

It is not possible at present to indicate when the dispute as to liability for the repairs needed to Park Court, Coventry, will be resolved.

Mr. William Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the scaffolding now erected at the premises in Park Court, Coventry, and occupied by the Inland Revenue and the Department of Employment was placed in position; what, to date, has been the cost of hiring the scaffolding; what would have been the cost of purchasing the scaffolding at the date of erection; and when it will be removed.

Sir George George Young

The scaffolding was first placed in position in October 1979. The total cost of hire to date is approximately £57,000. We estimate it would have cost between £80,000 and £100,000 to purchase in 1979. It is not possible to say when it will be removed.
