HC Deb 12 March 1979 vol 964 c26W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the annual cost to public funds of the Location of Offices Bureau.

Mr. Guy Barnett

The cost to public funds of the Location of Offices Bureau over the last four complete financial years is as follows:

£
1974–75 149,000
1975–76 173,000
1976–77 208,000
1977–78 256,000
The provision for 1978–79 is £386,000.

The cost for the two latest financial years reflects the extension of the bureau's remit in August 1977.
