HC Deb 23 February 1970 vol 796 c263W
Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will give the square footage and rent of the temporary accommodation he has secured for the requirements of the Inland Revenue computer centre at Bootle, and the period for which he anticipates this temporary accommodation will be occupied.

Mr. John Silkin

About 75,000 square feet of office accommodation is being hired and is expected to be occupied for about three years. Other short-term hirings have been taken in Bootle over the last few years to house advance parties of Inland Revenue staff for the computer centre. It is not my Ministry's policy to disclose rents.
