§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what the total area in square feet of all empty properties owned by(a) his Department, (b) his agencies and (c) other public bodies for which he has had responsibility was in each year since May 1997. [37810]
§ Dr. WhiteheadWe do not hold this information centrally, and obtaining this data, covering a period of four years, from approaching a hundred different property centres which manage the Department's administrative and operational estate, would involve disproportionate cost.
