HC Deb 18 May 2000 vol 350 cc256-7W
17. Mr. Tyler

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the future occupancy of Somerset House by the Inland Revenue. [121388]

Dawn Primarolo

The Government will continue to keep the occupancy of Somerset House under review. For the time being, the Inland Revenue's occupancy provides the Somerset House trust with a substantial guaranteed source of income, which is needed for restoring and developing the site.
