§ 71. Sir L. Thomasasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the nature of the work now being carried out at Carlton House Terrace; how much it will cost; and when it will be finished.
§ Mr. DiamondCarlton House Terrace is part of the Crown Estate under the charge of the Crown Estate Commissioners. The current work there consists of the renovation (within the existing framework) of a number of the houses by selected tenants for club and institutional use and provision by the Commissioners themselves of a garage for the use of the tenants in the lower part of 169W the Terrace along The Mall west of the Duke of York Steps. The garage should be completed in July. The cost to the Commissioners of about £100,000 will be met out of Crown Estate funds, on which it is expected to recover a reasonable return from the garage lettings to tenants.
