Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the two unused Ministerial residences in Admiralty House are now paying the empty homes council tax premium to Westminster City Council in 2025-26.

The residential accommodation within Admiralty House does not attract Westminster Council’s Empty Property Premium. The property, including the residential flats, are managed and maintained by the Government Property Agency (GPA). The GPA ensures that all rates due (business and domestic) in relation to the property are paid.
