§ Lady Olga MaitlandTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will make a statement on the proposed move of the head office of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service. [9683]
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe Women's Royal Voluntary Service is to move its head office from its present location in Stockwell road, Brixton, to the site of its new training centre, Milton Hill house in Oxfordshire. The cost of the new head office and the move are to be met by the WRVS trust. The surrender of the lease on the existing head office is to be financed by the use of £2 million accrued from the sale of other properties held in trust for the Crown by the Women's Royal Voluntary Service.
Parliamentary approval to this use of proceeds from the sale of other properties will be sought in supplementary estimates.
