HC Deb 15 December 1959 vol 615 c133W
91. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs, if he will state the amount in square feet of new office building yin the Central and Greater London areas since the war; and the amount in process of construction.

Mr. H. Brooke

Up to June, 1959, about 21½million square feet of new office building had been completed since the war in Central London, and about 9 million square feet was in course of construction. Some of this is of course in replacement of buildings destroyed by enemy action. I regret that no figures are available for Greater London.
