§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish for the last three years the total amount paid in rent by each department, together with the total amounts for each year.
§ Mr. Redwood[holding answer 5 December 1994]: Information is not available in the form requested. Where properties are occupied jointly by different Welsh Office departments and groups, costs are not apportioned separately to the administrative units involved. For reasons of commercial confidentiality it is also Government policy not to disclose information about rent levels for individual properties. The total amount of rent paid in each year is:
£ 1991–92 3,469,771 1992–93 3,768,323 1993–94 3,629,326
