§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the estimated cost of the new police headquarters, Liverpool; who authorised its building; and who will be responsible, and in what proportion, for the cost.
§ Dr. SummerskillThe new police headquarters in Liverpool is one of only two major police buildings selected by my Department as meriting the highest priority on operational grounds to go ahead within the limited capital resources available. The total cost of the headquarters is expected to be some £8 million, to be borne by the Merseyside County Council with the assistance of a 50 per cent. grant from the Home Office.
