Sir Anthony Kershaw

asked the Secretary of State for Transport 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. Ridley

The figures are:

Year Expenditure

1984–85 68,000

1986–87 73,000

This does not include figures for buildings occupied by my Department but owned by the Property Services Agency, for which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment will be answering.
