HC Deb 13 November 1980 vol 992 cc468-9W
Mr. Wickenden

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment on how many occasions during the last five years the Property Services Agency, acting on behalf of a Department of State, has arranged a transfer of interest in land by way of contract and conveyance on the same day.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

Neither the Property Services Agency's records nor those of the Treasury Solicitor are designed to provide this informaiton. However, I am advised by the conveyancing branch of the Treasury Solicitor's department that transfers of interests in land have been arranged by way of contract and conveyance on the same day.

Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will publish the annual report of the Property Services Agency for 1979–80.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

In the interests of economy the report will not be printed or published, but a short, duplicated text with statistical appendices has been placed in the Library. I should be glad to send copies to any hon. Member who would like to receive them.
