§ Mr. Charles ClarkeTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his oral statement of 11 June 1998, 749W Official Report, columns 1195–1201, if he will list the central Government disposals from the National Asset Register which he plans for 1998–99 in order to achieve £1 billion revenue.

§ Mr. Darling[holding answer 16 July 1998]: The estimates for 1998–99 were set out in the FSBR. The estimate of £1 billion a year over the next 3 years is projected from the level of sales achieved in previous years, the enhanced incentives announced at the time of the National Asset Register for Departments to dispose of assets, and discussions with Departments in the Comprehensive Spending Review on prospects for sales in the next 3 years.
