§ Mr. YeoAlthough the contractor has made considerable progress over the past months, he has not been able to complete the contract and hand over the building to Property Holdings. It seems likely that handover will now be achieved in late February or early March. A programme is being developed to fit out the building and to arrange for a phased programme of moves for Members, their staff and the Departments of the House. It is still expected that full occupation will be achieved at the end of the summer adjournment 1991.
