HC Deb 16 November 1973 vol 864 cc273-4W
Mrs. Lena Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the building programme for the new National Library.

Mr. Channon

While I am glad to inform the hon. Member that good progress is being made in planning the development of the Bloomsbury site for the British Library, it has not yet reached the stage at which a building programme can be prepared. I will inform the House further as soon as I am in a position to do so.
