I propose to take Questions Nos. 50 and 51 together.

The policy in relation to vacant space arising from decentralisation is to dispose of it in an appropriate and cost effective manner where it is not needed for other State use. Any space which has become vacant to date has been managed in accordance with this policy. As of now, the main vacant space is in the following leased premises.

The above premises are now being actively considered for reallocation to meet other requirements which have arisen in recent times. It is the objective of the Commissioners of Public Works to continue to monitor emerging vacant space in consultation with the relevant Departments and to ensure that any vacant space is used to best advantage.
