HC Deb 18 November 1996 vol 285 c396W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the selling price of the official service residence, Bois de Mai; when the residence was sold; when the residence was purchased and for what purchase price. [4069]

Mr. Soames

The sale of Bois de Mai was completed on 15 April 1996. The residence was sold unfurnished at close to the asking price of £1.565 million. The residence was originally purchased furnished in November 1992 at a cost of 120,000,000 Belgian francs, which equated to approximately £2.2 million at the then rate of exchange.
