HL Deb 27 November 1979 vol 403 cc385-6WA
Lord PLANT

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the total rental and cost per square foot for the following Manpower Services Commission Jobcentres:

  • 215 Piccadilly.
  • 197 Oxford Street.
  • 43 Cathedral Place, EC4.

The Earl of GOWRIE

I am informed by the Manpower Services Commission that it does not normally disclose rents, for commercial reasons. The rates per square foot for the offices you inquired about are as follows:

215 Piccadilly £5.85
197 Oxford Street £3.31
43 Cathedral Place £0.55
197 Oxford Street is not a jobcentre. It houses some MSC Head Office staff and the staff of a Job Notification Centre and is not open to the general public. Piccadilly Jobcentre is shortly to be closed.
