§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Prime Minister if he will list the items sold by his Department, its agencies and associated public bodies from those listed in the National Assets Register of November 1997; if he will give in each case the amount of money realised; if he will estimate the total cash raised from such sales to date; and if he will make a statement. [70420]
§ The Prime Minister[holding answer 11 February 1999]For the purpose of this question, this answer includes my Office and the Cabinet Office and its Agencies.
IT equipment, and vehicles in the fleet of the Government Car and Despatch Agency, are routinely replaced at the end of their useful life. The old equipment and vehicles are sold where it is appropriate and economic to do so.
In addition to these replacement programmes, the Cabinet Office has sold two of the fixed related assets, one of which is listed in the vehicles category the other from the plant and machinery category. The sale realised £1,500.
