Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Answer of 9 April 2014, Official Report, column 225W, on Revenue and Customs, for what reasons HM Revenue and Customs has not made an assessment of the economic viability of the land on the western perimeter of the Priory Court site, in relation to the requirement of Network Rail for new parking facilities for Dover Priory railway station.

As explained in my previous reply which was answered on 16 June 2014 (Column Reference 394W), HM Revenue & Customs occupies its site adjacent to Dover Priory Station under a PFI contract. Commercial discussions are a matter for Mapeley, as land owner and other parties. HMRC may consider any reasonable proposals.
