HC Deb 07 March 1996 vol 273 cc334-5W
Mr. Ian McCartney

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if she will list the cost and number of items of equipment and furniture that(a) have been stolen and (b) are otherwise unaccounted for from her Department and its agencies in each of the past five years, listing by name any such items valued at £5,000 or more, and showing information technology material separately.

Mr. Sproat

Since it was established in April 1992, my Department has neither lost nor had stolen any items of equipment or furniture. Three items of IT material have been lost, none of which was valued over £5,000.

The Historic Royal Palaces agency has suffered no theft or other loss of any item of furniture, equipment or IT material.

The Royal Parks agency lost four small non-IT items in 1995, the total value of those items being £513.
