§ 29. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed list of the free and subsidised housing accommodation now enjoyed by Ministers and civil servants, what the accommodation consists of, what free services go with the accommodation and what, on a fair rent basis, the accommodation is estimated to be worth in each instance.
§ Mr. EyreThe following list gives the information concerning ministerial official residences. The ministerial accommodation specified is the same as that listed in the reply to the hon. Member's Question on 3rd November, 1970. Listing all residential accommodation provided for civil servants would involve disproportionate expense.
