Government has stonewalled questions about the cost of renting out private office space for Bermuda’s top police officers in a property directly opposite the new multimillion dollar police and court building.Police Commissioner Michael DeSilva and his senior command team are due to move to the fourth floor of Veritas Place, at 65 Court Street, after taxpayers shell out for a $290,000 refurbishment.Government will then pay rent to the private owners of the office block, whose identities are not known.Opposition MPs have questioned why the senior officers weren’t given space in the new $92 million police and court building and asked if moving Mr DeSilva and his team to Veritas Place represents value for money.Former Cabinet Minister Arthur Hodgson, chairman of the Sustainable Development Roundtable, was given permission to build the six-storey property in 2007, when he said he was part of a team of developers named Abbott Holdings Ltd.Last month, he told The Royal Gazette: “It’s not exactly my building, although I do represent the owners.“At some point, they are proposing to say something about their building but at this stage it’s a work in progress and therefore the comment is: no comment.”He reiterated on Friday that the owners did not want to reveal their identities or comment on the rent they will be charging for the fourth floor.The Land Valuation Department’s website does not list an annual rental value for 65 Court Street and the owners of Veritas Place are not yet registered with the tax department of the Corporation of Hamilton.Mr Hodgson, of Abbott’s Crescent, Hamilton Parish, is registered as one of three directors of Abbott Holdings.The others are fellow Bermudians Anthony Foster, of Cottage Lane, Hamilton Parish, and Maria Watkinson.Mr Foster, deputy chairman of Bermuda Small Business Development Corporation and owner of Bermuda Sanitation & Engineering, said he was not one of the owners of Veritas Place. Ms Watkinson could not be reached.Abbott Holdings was incorporated in 1992 and has $12,000 of authorised share capital divided into 12,000 $1 shares, according to its annual return of shareholdings.It is not known if the relocation of the senior command team is permanent or if Government is still planning a promised refurbishment of the team’s offices at police headquarters at Prospect. Mr DeSilva has declined to comment.The Ministry of Public Works did not respond to questions on Friday.
