§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what response he has made to plans of the Russian Embassy to demolish two buildings listed for preservation by virtue of their architectural value and then to construct an entirely new complex in Kensington Church Street, surrounded by a wall 60 ft in height.
§ Mr. TomlinsonNo firm plans have yet been agreed for either site but the architects concerned are aware of the fact that there is a listed building on one site. Account will be taken of that fact and planning procedures as laid down in DOE circular 7/77 will be followed.
