Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


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

5 February 2004
