§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will place in the Library a copy of the report of the Waltham Forest environmental health officer with regard to his Department's property at 24 Claremont road, E11; and what action he proposes to take on it.
§ Mr. ChopeYes; I have placed in the Library a copy of the environmental health officer's report about 24 Claremont road, E11 dated 27 June 1990. This property has been acquired in connection with A12 Hackney-M11 link road and is temporarily occupied by tenants of the Department.
The Department has offered alternative accommodation to the tenants in order to vacate the property. They have turned the offer down. Since the report, essential repairs have been carried out. It is our intention to demolish the property after the tenancy agreement expires in November 1991.
