Has it come to the point that due to cutbacks - due to government enforcements - we are getting rid of history. History that cannot be replaced, the occupants will be moving to smaller offices.
May l suggest if the police are doing this, then maybe the government can get rid of House of Commons, The Treasury buildings and most of the buildings on Parliament Square - plus some offices in Whitehall. If the police are to operate in smaller offices, then l am sure that the PM can play his cut throat games in City Hall, most of it is glass- so we can see what they are planning.
I have been inside Parliament, and the only room that is used is The House of Lords and the room directly opposite, which you see ministers fighting each other.

It was built in the 60s..it's not a listed building and it's nothing as iconic as the BBC Television centre which has also been sold.
You are truly being ridiculous to suggest we should sell off some of our most historic buildings that underline the road to democracy and keep a rubbishy high rise set of sixties offices.
Oh yet again here is the link..you forgot to actually cut and paste the correct one again.
