§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list, for each local authority area in South Yorkshire, how many residential properties are currently owned by his Department; and if he will list, by location, those residential properties which are empty, giving the type of accommodation available, the length of time each property has been vacant, and its intended future use.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleThe Department owns two residential properties in South Yorkshire—one each in the Doncaster borough council and Rotherham borough council areas.
One property is at 50 School road, Wales, Sheffield. It is a three-bedroom semi-detached house and has been empty since 11 November 1991. The property is in need of substantial structural repairs. Its future use will be decided when proposals to widen the M1 between junctions 28 and 32 are finalised.
The other property is The Bungalow, Grove avenue, Doncaster. It is a three-bedroom detached property, which the tenant vacated on 28 October 1992. Another tenant is to be sought.
