Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how long he expects discussions to be ongoing between Mapeley, Network Rail and HM Revenue and Customs on the sale of land on the western perimeter of the Priory Court site and the construction of new parking facilities for Dover Priory railway station.

Previous replies have explained that further discussions in relation to the land at Priory Court in Dover are a matter for Mapeley who own the land. While HMRC occupy the property under the STEPS contract and will consider any reasonable proposals, resolution of commercial considerations are for Network Rail and Mapeley.
