asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what was the area of offices occupied by the non-industrial Civil Service at 1st October, 1951, 1st October, 1964, and at the latest date for which figures are available.

At October, 1951, non-industrial civil servants—other than Post Office staff—occupied about 34.5 million sq. ft. of usable office space, compared with about 33 million sq. ft. at October, 1964, and 38 million sq. ft. at October, 1968. Including ancillary space, associated storage, etc., the figures at the three dates were approximately 42, 40 and 46.5 million sq. ft respectively.
