§ Mr. Gordon BrownTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will tabulate(a) the asset sales and (b) the purchases of his Department and the Commission for New Towns for 1987–88 and the planned net receipts for 1988–89, giving separate figures for sales and receipts by local authorities.
§ Mrs. Roe[holding answer 14 June 1988]: The sums raised from the sale of assets by the Commission for the New Towns in 1987–88 amounted to £210.6 million. The commission's planned receipts for 1988–89 are confidential at this stage. I am unable to answer the remaining aspects of the hon. Member's question without more precise details of the information he requires.
