HC Deb 04 June 1946 vol 423 cc283-4W
Mr. Marples

asked the Financial-Secretary to the Treasury how many Ministers, other than the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, have official residences; what rent is paid in each case; if any charge is made in lieu of rates; and if free fuel and light are provided.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The Lord Chancellor occupies official premises for which no rent or rates are charged but in respect of which he pays for fuel and light. The First Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs occupy official premises for which no rent or rates are charged but in respect of which they pay any charges for fuel and light in excess of £200 in any year. The Secretary of State for Air and the Minister of Town and Country Planning occupy official premises for which rents of £300 and £120 per annum, respectively, are charged, and which include rates, fuel and light and some furniture.
