§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 6 February 2002,Official Report, column 960W, what the cost of refurbishing each ministerial private office was in each year since May 1997. [37901]
§ Mr. Paul MurphyFollowing its creation in July 1999, the Wales Office has redecorated and refurbished its London offices. It is not possible to accurately separate the cost of the work carried out on Ministers' offices from that carried out on other parts of the building.
Ministerial offices in Cardiff are part of the National Assembly for Wales building in Cardiff Bay and the Wales Office meets a proportionate share of the whole cost of maintaining that building.
