HC Deb 16 February 1983 vol 37 cc169-70W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the respective cost of the repairs and alterations now being carried out to Abell House and Cleland House; and what are the plans for these properties when work is completed.

Sir George Young

The Property Services Agency surrendered its lease on Abell House on 25 December 1982 to the lessor, who, we understand, is now refurbishing the building. The PSA surrendered its lease on Cleland House to the lessor on 13 September 1982. The lessor is refurbishing and enlarging the building at his expense. On completion of the works, PSA will take a new lease. There will be fitting out and other works to the building for the proposed occupants. The design and cost of these has not yet been finally settled.
