Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate his Department has made of the impact on Government revenues of the sale of publicly owned assets in the last 20 years. [147312]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Information on receipts of asset sales is published annually in Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses (PESA). Estimates for receipts from general government sales of fixed assets and debt sales from 1994–95 to 1999–2000 were published in PESA 2000–01 (Cm 4601), Table 4.8. Estimates of general government sales of land and existing buildings back to 1982–83 were published in PESA 1998–99 (Cm 3901), Table 3.8; figures for earlier years are available from the equivalent table in earlier editions of PESA. A detailed analysis of privatisation proceeds from 1979–80 to 1996–97 was published in PESA 1997–98 (Cm 3601), Table 3.13.
