§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will call for a report from the Property Services Agency on the future use and current condition of Archway tower, Junction road, London N19, formerly leased to the Department of Social Security.
§ Sir Paul Beresford[holding answer 6 July 1995]: Property Holdings has responsibility for Archway tower, which is leased to my Department, and is in need of some modernisation and refurbishment.
It was formerly occupied by the Benefits Agency as a public caller office. It has recently moved to premises more suitable for its needs. While the building has been considered by other Departments, so far no interest has been shown and it has therefore been placed in the hands of letting agents with the intention that the lease is, if possible, totally disposed of.
