HC Deb 22 July 2002 vol 389 c732W
Mr. Don Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will place in the Library his Department's departmental-owned residential property record. [707711

Mr. Jamieson

The Department does not maintain a central residential property record. Nevertheless, two of the Department's agencies own residential property:

  1. (1) the Highways Agency, as the operator of the strategic road network on behalf of the Secretary of State, keeps a database of residential property acquired for road schemes. This contains information restricted under the Data Protection Act 1998 and cannot be released in its current form; and
  2. (2) the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency owns three residential properties: two are official residences and one is currently on the market for sale.
