- Question
- What is the total capital sum spent since 1997 on buildings, or the refitting of buildings, for the use of the British Consulate in Istanbul and its staff; and for what purposes those sums were spent.
- Answer
-
The Consulate General at Istanbul was damaged by fire in May 2000 and again by bomb in November 2003. We have in the period between the fire and the end of financial year 2004–05 spent £13.726 million on Pera House and compound, for repairs, restoration and security works. We estimate that works at Pera House totalled £500,000 in the financial years 1997–98 to 1999–2000.
