HC Deb 24 June 1993 vol 227 cc247-8W
Mr. Knapman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he has made in selling the Building Management Business.

Mr. Curry

I hope to exchange contracts with purchasers of the Building Management Businesses shortly. We are proceeding with individual sales as negotiations are completed. Parliamentary approval of new expenditure to enable the vendor to complete the sales will be sought in a winter supplementary estimate for the sale of PSA Services businesses vote—class VII vote 13. Pending that approval, urgent expenditure will be met by repayable advances from the contingencies fund.
