HL Deb 01 May 2002 vol 634 cc102-24WA
Lord Freyberg

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Mr Wills on 9 November 2001 (HC Deb, 487W) whether they will give full details of the 484 antiques and 78 paintings held by the Lord Chancellor's Department. [HL3858]

The Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department (Baroness Scotland of Asthal)

The two tables below provide details of the 484 operational (e.g. desks, tables, chairs) and 78 non-operational (e.g. paintings, sculptures) antiques and works of art situated throughout the country in buildings within the Lord Chancellor's Department estate as reported to Parliament on 9 November. The reported value for operational antiques of £1,405,062.65 has since been adjusted to £954,851.04. This is mainly due to the reclassification of several high value items as fixtures and technical bookkeeping adjustments.
