§ Sir George YoungThe agreed value of the management contract for the ICC superstructure al first quarter 1982 prices, including the building costs, the contractor's fee and the fitting out of the parliamentary telephone exchange extension, was £35,604,000. This has not changed in real terms and the completion date for the contract remains 21 January 1986. The contract period will be followed by fitting out and commissioning which is planned to be completed by April 1986. The estimated cost, again at first quarter 1982 prices, of the completed substructure, which includes the parliamentary telephone exchange extension and the foundation and basement for the conference centre, is £5,086,000.
