§ Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many office buildings in greater London are used by his Department; how many are vacant; what is the estimated value of the property; and if he will list it address by address together with the responsibilities undertaken by each office.
§ Mr. EyreMy Department uses 813 buildings in greater London for its task of providing accommodation for the Government. The estate is managed so that buildings which must be vacated remain vacant for as short a time as possible; it is not possible to form an accurate estimate of the total value of the whole estate; the cost of listing all the buildings would be disproportionate. However, if my hon. Friend is concerned about a particular property, perhaps he would write to me about it.
