Admiralty House

Asked by Kevin HollinrakeConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 16 May 2025UIN 50517

The question

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.

Answered by Georgia Gould

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.
