§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government with regard to the disposal of operational land surplus to requirements other than by public tender by the regional water authorities, the Central Electricity Generating Board, and the British Railways Board, respectively; and in what circumstances each of these categories of body may dispose of such land without the publication of either the purchase price or name of the purchaser;
(2) what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government concerning the publication of the names or organisations or individuals who are successful in public tenders for land, goods, or premises being sold by central Government, local Government, and statutory bodies, respectively.
§ Mr. ChopeAll public bodies are expected to offer surplus land and property for sale as soon as practicable. The method of sale may differ between Departments, local authorities and other bodies, depending on the nature of the asset to be sold, any relevant legal requirements, the application of the Crichel Down rules, the need to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable and other market and commercial factors.
It is for individual public bodies to decide what information to make available about individual land 240W transactions, having regard to any legal requirements, and to any constraints which may apply by reason of commercial confidentiality or security.
