§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what his estimate is of the cost of buildings refurbishment carried out by his Department in each of the last four years. [27967]
§ Angela EagleThe Department does not maintain central records of the cost of every building refurbishment project carried out by the Department including its Executive Agencies and to provide the information requested would be at disproportionate cost. However, in central London and Croydon, the approximate position over the last three years is as follows:
£ million 1999–2000 6.7 2000–2001 35.2 2001–01 111.5 1Up to end of November 2001. I would also refer to the response given to my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke-on-Trent, North (Ms Walley) on 23 October 2001, Official Report, column 218W.
