HC Deb 19 October 1995 vol 264 cc304-5W
Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) in which papers and which countries the Treasury building was advertised for sale; [37121]

(2) what restrictions have been put on the use of the Treasury building if it is sold; [37122]

(3) if he will list the expressions of interest in purchasing the Treasury building which have been received so far. [37123]

Sir Paul Beresford

Property Holdings advertised for a private sector partner for the refurbishment of the Treasury building internationally.

Outright sale of the freehold is not currently envisaged.

It would be inappropriate to list all the expressions of interest at this time, as the selection of a short list of candidates is currently taking place.
