HC Deb 06 December 1994 vol 251 c168W
Mrs. Clywd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the value of each overseas diplomatic residence owned by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Goodlad

The information requested will not be available until the systematic valuation of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's overseas estate is further advanced. This work, at present being planned, is in preparation for the introduction of revised Government accounting methods—resource accounting—later in the 1990s.

Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the cost of upkeep of each overseas diplomatic residence owned by Her Majesty's Government in each of the last three years.

Mr. Goodlad

The information requested is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the cost of renting each overseas diplomatic residence not owned by Her Majesty's Government in each of the last three years.

Mr. Goodlad

The information requested is not immediately available. I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as it has been obtained.
