HC Deb 21 December 1979 vol 976 cc532-3W
Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many temporary buildings have been placed in the Palace of Westminster; what is their estimated life span; and when it is expected that they will be removed.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

There are five temporary buildings inside the Palace of Westminster. Their estimated life is 20 years and they will be removed when permanent facilities can be established elsewhere.
