§ Mr. John Smithasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the anticipated contribution to local rates in respect of the new Government office block between Horseferry Road and Great Peter Street.
§ Mr. DiamondContributions in lieu of rates are at present being paid on the basis of £10,388 R.V. in respect of parts of the original building still remaining in beneficial occupation on this island site. Owing to the delay in building operations on the new office block no realistic estimate of the ultimate value has yet been made.
