To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the cost to the public purse was of the purchase of the Kingsland Fire Station site for use by the Hackney New Primary School; and what the gain to the public purse was of the sale of that site.
The purchase of Kingsland Fire Station, 333 Kingsland Road, London, E8 4DR for the sum of £16,000,000 (exclusive of VAT) from the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority was funded from the Department for Education’s budget and made in the name of the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
