HC Deb 19 January 1994 vol 235 c651W
Ms Mowlam

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what additional costs have been incurred following the problems with wiring at the new British library building in St. Pancras.

Mr. Sproat

I expect the additional costs incurred in the employment of expert consultants, the direct costs of remedial works and the indirect cost of delay and disruption to be borne by the parties who have contributed to these costs, and not by the Exchequer. It is too early to estimate what the sum involved is likely to be.
