§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what information he has about the approximate rent per sq ft per year paid by firms to rent office space in the City of London, the City of Westminster, and in the Whitehall-Trafalgar Square area of London.
§ Sir George YoungI have been asked to reply.
Statistics on United Kingdom office rents are not maintained by my Department.
Information on office supply, availability and take-up, including rental levels, is published regularly by leading firms of surveyors and property market analysts. They are best equipped to monitor property market information.
