HC Deb 31 October 1988 vol 139 c543W
17. Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what have been the total assets realised in Wales in terms of(a) privatisation and (b) the sale of Government land and buildings since 1979; and by how much he expects this figure to increase in the next five years.

Mr. Peter Walker

Between April 1979 and April 1988 sales of land and buildings by the Welsh Office and its agencies, and by health authorities, realised £200 million. I expect sales over the next five years to yield at least a further £130 million. Figures for privatisation proceeds are not available.
