HC Deb 01 August 1978 vol 955 c228W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will give a detailed list of offices and establishments set up by the Common Market in Great Britain since Great Britain entered the Common Market; and what income has resulted from them either in purchase payment or rent and lease payments.

Mr. Judd

The lease of the London property occupied jointly by the EEC Commission and the European Parliament Information Office was acquired on the open market by the European Coal and Steel Community in 1957. Commission offices in Edinburgh and Cardiff are rented. The rents paid are a matter for negotiation with the owners of the properties. The Joint European Torus project will be established at Culham on land provided by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority.
