HC Deb 13 April 1973 vol 854 c379W
Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many office development certificates have been issued within the Greater London Council area since 1967; and how many of these were considered to be speculative development.

Mr. Graham Page

Between 1st January 1967 and 31st December 1972, 1,990, of which rather less than one-fifth were for wholly speculative developments, covering for the most part foot-for-foot replacement of existing office space.
