§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Prime Minister if he will list the items in the National Assets Register sold by his Office, its agencies and associated public bodies since 22 February 1999, stating in each case the amount of money realised; if he will estimate the total amount raised from such sales to date; and if he will make a statement. [104680]
§ The Prime MinisterFor 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 a surplus property, Alencon Link in Basingstoke, for £1.3 million. A payment of £1.25 million has also been received, representing deferred sale proceeds following the privatisation of Chessington Computer Centre.
