The sale has maximised value for money for the British taxpayer, funding much-needed investment not just in Tokyo but also elsewhere in our global estate. The Japanese Government has been kept informed of our plans.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL560 question first answered 10/06/2022 11:48:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
