HC Deb 22 April 1936 vol 311 cc154-5W
Sir F. SANDERSON

asked the First Commissioner of Works the amount of accommodation that has been taken in the new block of flats of Lansdowne House, Berkeley Square, by a department of the Admiralty; the period for which it has been taken; and the annual rental?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

The actual working space, exclusive of corridors, will be about 32,000 square feet with, in addition, about 3,500 square feet of storage space. About 390 persons will be accommodated. It would be contrary to well-established practice to disclose the terms of the individual lease, but, as was stated in reply to a previous question on the 8th April, the rent to be paid compares favourably with other rents paid for office accommodation in Westminster.
