HC Deb 14 February 2003 vol 400 c16W
Mr. Laws

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what sales of heritage assets and antique assets have been made by his Department since May 1997; if he will list such assets; and if he will estimate the total sales proceeds. [92369]

Yvette Cooper

The Department's current fixed asset register came into being in April 1999 and it confirms that no operational heritage or antique assets have been sold since that date. Prior to April 1999 we have no specific records on heritage or antique asset disposals. However, it has never been my department's policy to dispose of such assets.
