HC Deb 25 November 1975 vol 901 c99W
Mr. Alexander Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated cost to public funds of unoccupied Government office accommodation for the year 1975–76.

Mr. Armstrong

£2.7 million, excluding accommodation which has been vacant for six months or less and newly leased buildings being prepared for occupation. Most of the unoccupied space is empty because it is being modified to meet the needs of different staff or is undergoing maintenance.
