HC Deb 14 June 1999 vol 333 cc62-3W
Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will invite bids for the redundant building and land formerly the Home Office Regional Government Headquarters at Soar, Malborough, Kingsbridge, Devon; and if he will make a statement as to the timetable for such a sale. [86430]

Mr. George Howarth

We have instructed our agents to arrange for the early sale of this land and building by tender on the open market. Our current expectation is that the sale will be completed by the end of September. This timetable is subject to the resolution of some outstanding issues with the owners of adjourning land.
