§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the annual rental value is of the London Headquarters of(a) HM Customs and Excises, (b) the Inland Revenue, (c) the Government Actuary's Department and (d) the UK Debt Management Office; and what assessment he has made of the rental values of similar office space size in (i) Coventry, (ii) Birmingham, (iii) Wolverhampton and (iv) Stoke on Trent. [10249]
§ Ruth KellyThe following table lists the annual rental value of the London headquarters of(a) HM Customs and Excise; (b) the Inland Revenue; (c) the Government 885W Actuary's Department; and (d) the Debt Management Office. HM Customs and Excise and the Government Actuary's Department co-locate in the London accommodation, so the rental value has been apportioned based on their percentage of occupation.
No assessment has been made of the rental value of similar offices in (i) Coventry, (ii) Birmingham, (iii) Wolverhampton and (iv) Stoke on Trent as the Departments do not have offices of a comparable size. Neither the Government Actuary's Department nor the Debt Management Office occupy any space outside of London.
Annual rental value of London headquarters £ HM Customs and Excise 5,000,000 Inland Revenue 2,200,000 Government Actuary's Department 650,484 Debt Management Office 957,852
