HC Deb 09 July 1948 vol 453 cc59-60W
Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Works the number of Government office buildings now being erected, or immediately projected, for the urban district of Ruislip-Northwood; the Departments for which they are intended; and the capital value of each project.

Mr. Key

Three temporary Government office buildings are now being erected in the urban district of Ruislip-Northwood. The estimated cost of the three schemes is as follows:—

£
Tolcarne Drive, Northwood Hills (extension of existing buildings) 88,000
Lime Grove, Eastcote, Middlesex (extension of existing buildings) 103,000
Victoria Road, Ruislip, Middlesex 314,000
The last building is being erected by a private firm and will be leased by my Department on completion. The figure quoted is the value of the building licence granted. The buildings are being constructed mainly to replace accommodation held on requisition, but their allocation to Departments has not yet been finally settled.
