HC Deb 29 November 1955 vol 546 cc189-90W
98. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Works how many Government building schemes have been suspended, in view of the credit squeeze; and if he will state the nature of each building and its site, together with the date when it was approved.

Mr. Birch

It is not possible to enumerate all the building schemes which would proceed if the Government had not enforced strict economy. Major schemes included in this year's Estimates of my Department and now deferred are the new Colonial Office, the office building in Horseferry Road and the new Embassy offices in Washington.
