HC Deb 31 March 1999 vol 328 cc720-1W
14. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the additional costs involved in moving from the temporary National Assembly building to the Assembly's permanent location. [78072]

Mr. Michael

The Explanatory and Financial Memorandum of the Government of Wales Bill stated that the estimated capital costs of establishing the National Assembly would be £17 million. The costs of the temporary accommodation in Crickhowell House and the construction of the new Assembly building were included in this estimate. It is too early to estimate the costs of transferring some functions of the Assembly from Crickhowell House into the new building.
