HC Deb 18 December 1967 vol 756 cc284-5W
84. Sir M. Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Health how many years the lease has still to run of the Leeds Regional Board headquarters at the Queen Hotel, Harrogate; if all the rooms at the hotel are in use; how much money voted by Parliament has been spent on maintaining the gardens in the last 15 years; and if he will instruct the Board that they should find more suitable and less expensive headquarters when the lease runs out.

Mr. Snow:

Eight; yes, apart from some currently being adapted; £12,260 in gardeners' wages over the last ten years. All options for the Board's long term accommodation needs will be kept open for a decision at the appropriate time, but it is most unlikely that more suitable premises would be less expensive.
