District Land Registry

HC Deb 30 June 1983 vol 44 c103W

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Attorney-General whether the District Land Registry is to have new premises in Birkenhead.

The Solicitor-General

Yes. New premises are to be constructed for the District Land Registry on the Old Market site in Birkenhead. A contribution towards the cost of the new building is to be made from urban programme resources. Accordingly, subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate, the cash limit on the land Registry Vote—Class XIII, Vote 17—will be increased by £350,000 to £65,140,000 and the cash limit DOE/LA1, which includes provision for capital spending on the urban programme, will be reduced by £350,000 to £2,964.7 million.
