Letter to the Parliamentary Relations
and Devolution Department, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from
the Clerk of the Committee, 5 February 2004
At its last meeting, the Committee noted the
recent responses to the written questions tabled by Mr Maples
concerning the sale and purchase of residential properties by
the Foreign Office (copy attached). The Committee have asked me
to write and request that it be supplied with the details of the
net proceeds of each sale and the total cash cost of each purchase,
which are missing from the Office's original responses.
In a related matter, the Committee would also
like to know how the Office's rental bill for overseas and UK
properties has changed during the period 1998-99 to 2002-03, and
the predicted figures until 2006-07.
I would be grateful for an answer by Monday
23 February.
Steve Priestley
Clerk of the Committee
