answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2015 answer text <p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) currently pays the following annual rent on:-</p><p>(a) 1 Carlton Gardens – £482,341 <br>(b) Lancaster House - £720,000<br> <br>Lancaster House is used to provide business hospitality services as well as conference and meeting facilities across the whole of government. It is also used for a limited amount of commercial hire to corporate clients to help off-set running costs.</p><p>1 Carlton Gardens is the official residence of the Foreign Secretary, and is used for official events and functions in support of FCO and wider government objectives.</p><p>We reviewed the Lancaster House and Carlton Gardens rent in 2013. Following negotiation, the agreed rent in both cases was less than the landlord had proposed. In 2015 we successfully obtained a reduction in the rateable value for Lancaster House. This resulted in a rebate in business rates covering the period from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2015 of £1.57 million and future annual rates saving of approximately £500,000.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 22/07/2015 15:07:44 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
