§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total expenditure currently approved for carpeting corridors in Government offices at City House, Leeds; and what is the purpose of this expenditure.
§ Mr. MarksThe total cost is likely to be £1,150. The existing vinyl asbestos tiles have reached the end of their effective life, and replacement will cost less by fibre-bonded carpet than by either vinyl tiles or linoleum taking both capital and maintenance costs into account.
