HC Deb 07 March 1988 vol 129 cc1-3W
Mr. Cran

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the location and status of all buildings within his Department located in London and the annual cost of rents, rates and maintenance of each.

Mr. Hurd

The Department's office, storage and specialised accommodation is held in the name of the Secretary of State for the Environment and administered by the Property Services Agency, which makes an accommodation charge instead of direct payment for rent, rates, maintenance and minor works. That charge includes the agency's associated administration costs. The Home Office occupies all or part of 21 buildings in the London area on this basis. The total accommodation charge for these buildings, which are listed below, is £23,931,049 in 1987–88.

The seven prison service establishments in London—Her Majesty's prisons: Brixton, Holloway, Pentonville, Wandsworth and Wormwood Scrubs; Her Majesty's Remand Centre, Ashford; and Her Majesty's Youth Custody Centre, Feltham—are held in the name of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. No rent is paid for them; the total cost of their rates and maintenance for 1986–87 was £3,081,700.

The building occupied by the Police National Computer Organisation at Hendon is held in the name of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The total cost of the building's ground rent, rates and maintenance for 1986–87 was £225,000.
