To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the answers of 10 May,Official Report, columns 189–90 and 30 April, Official Report, columns 382–83, what is the square footage of office space to which these figures relate.

Mr. Chris Patten

The amount of office space to which the figures in my earlier answers relate is 1,209,645 sq ft. This area excludes specialised sites such as the royal parks and palaces which were included in the consumption and expenditure figures but to which the concept area is not appropriate.

Mr. Dobson

(2) what was the spending by the Property Services Agency for the civil estate on (a) electricity, (b) gas, ife) liquid fuels, (d) solid fuels and (e) all energy, expressed in (i) money terms and (ii) real 1989–90 terms for each year from 1978–79 to 1989–90, broken down by Government Department as far as possible.
