§ Sir E. Bullusasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it is expected that the new Cadet Section House in The Mall, Kingsbury, N.W.9, will be completed and in use; and what was the original estimated date for opening.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsIt is now expected that this Section House will be in use by February, 1968, a year later than originally estimated. I understand from the outside architect handling the project that the delay is due to a number of factors, but mainly to difficulties experienced by the contractor in the recruitment of adequate labour.
§ Sir E. Bullusasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the original estimate for the cost of building the new Cadet Section House in Kingsbury, N.W.9; and what is now the revised estimate.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsThe original estimate for this fixed-price contract was £297,000. The revised estimate is £324,000: this covers variations of the original plans and the incidence of Selective Employment Tax.
