HC Deb 27 January 2000 vol 343 c331W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the items in the National Assets Register sold by his Department, its agencies and associated public bodies since 11 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.

Information on individual sales of assets disposed of by the Department, its agencies and associated public bodies is not held centrally.

Details of capital receipts are reported by financial year. Providing details of receipts over a period other than a financial year would involve disproportionate cost. The period 11 February 1999 to January 2000 covers two financial years, and for those two years the following information is available:

(a) Total income from the disposal of National Health Service assets for the 1998–99 financial year
£ million
Financial year Capital receipts—NHS assets
1998–99 500

(b) Current forecast income from the disposal of NHS assets for the 1999–2000 financial year
£ million
Financial year Capital receipts—NHS assets
1999–2000 337
