§ Mr. Stanbrookasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in view of the need to conserve public funds but in response to the need for a police station in Orpington, he will allow a developer to build Orpington Police Station on the site already selected, and permit the Metropolitan Police to rent the building on agreed conditions.
§ Dr. SummerskillI have been asked to reply.
No proposal involving private development of the site for Orpington police station is under consideration by the Receiver for the MTD and I cannot say whether the cost and other implications of any such arrangement would be acceptable.
