1 On 1 January 1996 PACE was created as an Executive Agency of the Office of Public Service. In addition to the buildings it occupies for its own use, PACE also inherited all the wholly vacant buildings then on the Civil Estate.

PACE is charged with the disposal of this vacant estate which currently totals some 286 properties. Collection of the requested information for this large number of buildings will take time. I have, therefore, asked the Chief Executive of PACE to write separately to the hon. Member with this additional information. A copy of the letter will be published in the Official Report.
