§ Mrs. Winifred Ewingasked the Lord President of the Council what is the location and composition of the Government's Property Services Agency and the sums allotted to it from Government funds in each of the last two years.
§ Mr. KaufmanI have been asked to reply.
The main headquarters of the Property Services Agency is located in London, with a headquarters office in Edinburgh, a central office for Wales in Cardiff and regional offices in seven English towns and at a number of places overseas, with subordinate units at various other locations.
The agency is headed by a chief executive, three deputy chief executives and the recently appointed Director General of Design Services and comprises headquarter line directorates providing particular services, together with the territorial organisation at home and overseas, plus a number of staff directorates.
The provision in the Estimates for Votes controlled by the agency was £515 million in 1973–74 and £596 million in 1974–75 to meet the cost of accommodation services for civil and defence Departments.
