§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the buildings currently owned or rented by his Department, together with(a) the estimated value, (b) the annual rent and (c) the annual maintenance cost of each building in the current financial year.
§ Mr. LangAn up-to-date capital valuation of the Scottish Office's departmental estate is not available. The annual rental bill for the Scottish Office's departmental estate for 1993–94 is £370,572.73. Details of individual rentals are commercially sensitive. Maintenance respon-sibility is shared between my Department and Property Holdings, but my Department's maintenance costs for 1993–94, which also cover our responsibilities for buildings on the common user estate occupied by my Department, are estimated to be £2.427 million.
