Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will make a statement concerning the possible relocation of the London School of Economics to the county hall building.

Mr. Forman

The disposal of county hall is primarily a matter for the London Residuary Body and for my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. I have nothing to add to what my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Environment said on the matter during the Adjournment debate on 26 June,Official Report, columns 555–62.
