HC Deb 05 April 1977 vol 929 c456W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many new leases of accommodation in excess of 10,000 square feet have been entered into by the Property Services Agency since October 1974; and if he will list the addresses in the Official Report.

Mr. Marks

234 new leases of accommodation in excess of 10,000 square feet have been entered into by the Property Services Agency since October 1974, and a list of the properties taken is being sent separately to the hon. Member.

Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the current comparative costs in Croydon and Teesside for office accommodation of a type suitable for use by the Property Services Agency; and what are the savings in rent which the proposal to transfer the PSA to Teesside is estimated to make.

Mr. Marks

There is no accommodation of a type suitable for PSA available currently in Teesside which would enable a true comparison to be effected. No decision has yet been taken on the precise accommodation to be retained for civil servants remaining in London and the South-East.
