HC Deb 04 July 1949 vol 466 c123W
1. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Works how many steel-framed buildings are now under construction in London; what is the approximate total accommodation which will be so provided; and how these figures compare with steel-framed Government offices now under construction.

Mr. Key

Twelve steel-framed buildings licensed by my Department are at present under construction in London for use as private offices. The total area of office space provided will be about 417,000 square feet. This compares with 12 steel-framed buildings providing about 1,180,000 square feet of office space at present under construction in London for Government use.
