Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what the area in square metres is of the Ministerial office of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in his Department, the hon. Member for Keighley.

Answer

My office has a floor area of 39 square metres. This compares with 65 square metres in our old building of Eland House, which we inherited from the last Labour Government. The Department has made substantial savings of taxpayers' money by relocating from Eland House to Marsham Street and rationalising space, delivering total savings of £220 million over the lifetime of the building’s lease commitments.
