HC Deb 14 December 1964 vol 704 c9W
64. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what is the value of the pictures hanging on the walls of Ministers' offices within their Departments.

Mr. C. Pannell

It would require an unjustifiable amount of staff time to form an estimate of the value of the 143 pictures involved, of which 22 are on loan, when there is, in any case, no question of realising their value by selling them.
