HC Deb 29 January 1982 vol 16 c460W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will have a model of the proposed new building in Great Sanctuary made and available for inspection by hon. Members before its design is settled irrevocably.

Mr. Heseltine

The architect's model of the proposed international conference centre, Broad Sanctuary, was displayed in the Upper Waiting Hall from 28 to 31 October 1980. As my right hon. Friend announced to the House on 2 July 1981—[Vol. 7, c. 466]—work on the superstructure is due to start in April to the design agreed with Westminster city council and which was welcomed by the Royal Fine Art Commission. If any hon. Members wish to see the model again, I will make the necessary arrangements.
