asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the estimated value of the site of the old Royal Free hospital in Gray's Inn Road; and to what use it is being put.

The most recent valuation of the site, made in March 1977, was £230,000 which excluded the nurses residefences and the part of the site required for Eastman dental hospital. The buildings currently house Camden and Islington area health authority works and supplies staff, some health education staff and district community health staff. Other uses described in my reply to my hon. Friend on 7 February 1978 continue.—[Vol. 943, c. 549.] I understand that the London borough of Camden's district plan proposes that the remainder of the site be used to improve residential and amenity facilities.
