HC Deb 14 December 1973 vol 866 c211W
Mrs. Lena Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the latest estimated cost of building the National Library in Bloomsbury; and what consideration has been given to the possible economies in building on another site.

Mr. Channon

As the design has not yet been finalised it would be misleading to give a current estimate of cost. As the Library is to be built in Bloomsbury the second part of the Question does not arise.
