 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 24 Jun 1991
The London residuary body did not want that site to be used because it wished to protect its development plans, at the time when the County Hall Development Group was presenting grandiose proposals to build a hotel, offices, and houses with private gardens--which would also have encroached on Jubilee gardens.
The LRB says that if it is not allowed access to the site for five years it cannot sell county hall for as much money and it would therefore sue London Underground--it said it would take London Underground to the cleaners--for between £50 million and £100 million.
London Underground found a way to ensure that the interests of Members of Parliament were not jeopardised, but the people of Waterloo do not have the same ability as Members of Parliament to lobby, pester and throw power punches.

 Company History
Workspace Group PLC (formerly known as London Industrial PLC) was established in 1987 as the vehicle for the privatisation of part of the former Great London Council’s industrial property portfolio.
The participating institutions regarded London Industrial as an experimental venture designed to produce attractive returns (in the form of earnings and dividends) from the active management of high yielding secondary property, providing flexible, affordable workspace for new and small businesses.
In 1993 the Company joined the London Stock Exchange, and in 1994 it expanded outside London with the acquisition of a portfolio of industrial estates, primarily in the West Midlands.

 Electoral History of the Greater London Council
As more people moved out of central London and into the suburbs outside the LCC boundaries (fixed as long ago as 1855), the Labour control became unchallengeable and so the Conservative government moved to create a council covering the whole greater London area which had a decent chance of being Conservative controlled.
In 1957 Sir Edwin Herbert was appointed to head a Royal Commission on the matter, and in 1960 this reported in favour of an enlarged area of London where new London Boroughs were to be the primary institution of local government, and a Greater London Council having fewer powers than the LCC had.
County Hall, for so long the object of Conservative ire (Ken Livingstone having provocatively put the London unemployment figures in big letters on the terrace), was earmarked for disposal by the London Residuary Body, a quango set up to sell off the rest of the GLC assets.
