HC Deb 02 November 1994 vol 248 c1125W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what conclusion is reached by the Property Holdings report on the PowerGen building in Shirley, west midlands, on whether the agency should take up the lease; and if he will place a copy of the report in the Library;

(2) when the Highways Agency leased the PowerGen building in Shirley, west midlands; and if he will make a statement on the cost.

Mr. Watts

This is an operational matter for the Highways Agency. I have asked the chief executive to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from Lawrie Haynes to Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody, dated 2 November 1994: The Minister for Roads and Railways has asked me to respond to your two Parliamentary Questions about the Powergen building in Shirley. I am exploring a number of property options in relation to the Agency's restructuring proposals. No new leases have yet been signed. Reports on properties received from Property Holdings have to be treated as commercially confidential.
