§ Jane Kennedy[holding answer 26 April 2004]: HSE's new building at Bootle, Merseyside is being procured under the Private Finance Initiative. Once it is available for occupation in 2005 HSE will pay an annual unitary charge for fully serviced office space of £7 million (2003 prices). The purchase of the site from Sefton MBC cost £1.3 million and removal plus IT transitional costs are likely to cost £1 million. The total income from HSE priced publications was £5.7 million in 2003–04.
