HC Deb 06 April 1981 vol 2 c214W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the cost of the special glass installed in order to facilitate the growth of potted plants at the Welsh Office.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The total cost of the glass roofs over the inner courtyards was £225,000. Glazing was essential, to allow full use to be made of the space within and surrounding the courtyards. The blue tinted glass, although it helps plant growth, was no more costly than other glass used in the building.
