§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will state the area occupied by central Government offices in Scotland, the addresses of these offices and their total rateable value.
§ Mr. Mellish:Excluding the Post Office, there are some 900 separate holdings in Scotland occupied by civil departments of Central Government for office purposes involving some 3½ million square feet nett. The cost of listing the addresses and computing the total rateable value (records of which are not kept in this form) would not be justified.
