HC Deb 01 March 2004 vol 418 cc691-2W
Angus Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the total value is of assets belonging to his Department, broken down by United Kingdom region; and if he will break down the assets by(a)estates, (b) kit, (c) plant, machinery and vehicles, (d) capital spares, (e) information technology and communications and fassets in course of construction for the same areas for the most recent financial year.

Mr. Ingram

A full regional breakdown of asset values is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, a breakdown of the value of Ministry of Defence's land and buildings by Government office region may be derived from Section 7 of the National Asset Register, last published by the Treasury as Cm 5221 on 19 July 2001. This shows the position for financial year 1999–2000. The latest information on the total value of assets was published on 30 October 2003 in MOD's Annual Report and Accounts 2002–03 (HC 1125, pages 80 and 111). Both the National Asset Register and the Annual Report and Accounts have been placed in the Library of the House.
