HC Deb 19 January 1994 vol 235 cc665-6W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what was the latest value placed on London's county hall prior to the London residuary body selling it to the Shirayama Corporation of Japan; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

Prior to its sale, any valuation of the riverside building of County hall would have been a matter for the London residuary body and potential purchasers. The terms of the contract for the sale of the riverside building were confidential between the LRB and the Shirayama Corporation. But the LRB was required by law to obtain the best price.
