HL Deb 17 March 1971 vol 316 cc552-3WA
LORD MANCROFT

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether plans have been finally abandoned to rebuild on the site of the old Stationery Office between the Middlesex Guildhall and the Central Hall in Parliament Square.

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE, DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT (LORD SANDFORD)

The future of this site is bound up with considerations of the redevelopment of Whitehall. Following the public inquiry conducted by Mr. Harold Willis, Q.C., my right honourable friend hopes to make a statement shortly.
