Charity Commission: Empty Property

Mr. Pickles
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what the estimated cost in empty property business rates for the vacant property of the Charity Commission as recorded on the e-PIMS database at (a) Woodfield House and (b) Harmsworth House is in 2008-09.

Kevin Brennan
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Charity Commission. I have asked the Commission to reply.

Letter from Andrew Hind, 27 February 2009

As the Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, I have been asked to respond to your written Parliamentary Question on vacant office space.

The Charity Commission has no empty property on which it is paying business rates. Our entry on e-PIMS reflects this.

I hope this is helpful
