HC Deb 07 December 1998 vol 322 c30W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what rules his Department applies to allocation between departments of receipts from sales of assets; and what changes have been made since 1 May 1997. [62032]

Mr. Byers

Since 1 May 1997, departments have been given new incentives to recycle receipts from asset sales into new assets, with the National Asset Register helping to identify these surplus assets.
