HC Deb 23 July 1974 vol 877 c441W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the number of additional square feet of office accommodation leased by his Department either through the Property Service Agency, or directly, since 28th February 1974.

Mr. Freeson

The information is not readily available in the form asked, and to obtain it would entail disproportionate cost. The latest available figure for the size of the civil office estate is 51,455,000 sq. ft.—net area used for clerical purposes—in December 1973.
