2 Marsham Street

HC Deb 23 June 1999 vol 333 cc421-2W

Mr. Leigh

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office when he expects to make a decision on the future of the former Government buildings in Marsham street. [86797]

Mr. Kilfoyle

The decision to demolish 2 Marsham street has already been made. However, immediate demolition has been deferred because re-use is one of the options being considered by the Home Office under its PFI project. A final decision on the timing of demolition cannot be made until the Home Office has completed another round of bidding, the result of which is expected later this year.
