§ Mr. FearnTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what offices of his Department have become vacant as a result of the move to Richmond house.
§ Mr. MooreThe move of some 480 staff to Richmond house has left space in Alexander Fleming house, Friars house and Hannibal house.
In order to provide decant space for the planned refurbishment of Alexander Fleming house, a rationalisation programme has begun in these buildings. The space gained from the move to Whitehall will therefore be used initially for decant space and eventually released from the estate following implementation of our accommodation strategy on the completion of the refurbishment of Alexander Fleming house in 1992–93.
