To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the total running costs for buildings used, owned or rented by his Department for each nation and region of the UK, and estimate the average cost per square metre for properties used by his Department as a whole, and by region and nation of the UK.

Mr. Paul Murphy

The Wales Office rents accommodation in Cardiff Bay which, over the last 12 months, has cost some £99,000 or about £355 per sq m. The Department also owns Gwydyr House in London which, in 2000–01, cost some £420,000 or about £670 per sq m. The figure for Gwydyr House includes a major refurbishment project carried out during the year.
