Mr. S. James A. Hillasked the Secretary of State for the Environment to what extent the Property Services Agency builds rather than leases office accommodation.
§ Mr. ChannonOur policy is to provide Government offices in the most economic way. A recent study has confirmed that it is normally cheaper to build than to lease. We shall be reviewing our building programmes in the light of this, of future plans for dispersal and of the public expenditure situation generally.
