HC Deb 01 May 1984 vol 59 c136W
Sir Anthony Kershaw

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what estimate he has formed of the likely cost of 15 per cent. value added tax on the cost of building extensions and refurbishments of buildings owned by his Department in each of the next five years.

Mr. Whitney

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not own or lease any buildings in the United Kingdom. All the buildings it occupies are held in the name of the Secretary of State for the Environment.
