OH DEAR — the Securities and Invest- ments Board, which moved into its garish new office at the end of last year, is still stuck with its old one. Any takers for a four-and-a-half year lease in Royal Ex- change Buildings, across the way from the Bank of England? Might get the Building Societies Commission out of its boothole in the garment district. Or it would make an overflow for its neighbour, the Green- house champagne bar. In fact, that would have been a better idea in the first place.
