HC Deb 02 February 1987 vol 109 c489W
Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the sale price of land to the Canary wharf consortium will be made public.

Mr. John Patten

The land price paid by the consortium cannot be published until after an agreement has been concluded and when confidentiality restrictions can be lifted.

Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much per acre the Canary wharf consortium will be required to pay for land in the Isle of Dogs enterprise zone; and what was the price paid for Heron quay.

Mr. John Patten

The price for the land which the Canary wharf consortium is seeking to purchase will be a major factor in negotiations on the master building agreement. For reasons of commercial confidentiality neither this land price nor the price paid for Heron quay can be disclosed at present.
