Mr. Ingram

Information on asset values for the 1999–2000 financial year is contained in the Ministry of Defence section (Section 7) of the National Asset Register published by the Treasury in July 2001. The register lists asset holdings by Top Level Budget Holder and Agency Chief Executive in the asset categories agreed by the Treasury. A copy of the register is available in the Library of the House. Providing the information in the format requested could be done only at disproportionate cost.

Information on our asset holdings for 2000–01 will be published in the Departmental Resource Accounts in December. These will provide a breakdown by Treasury category at MOD departmental level.
