HC Deb 06 May 2004 vol 420 c1679W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what his Department's responsibility is for the Sea Stores building at Yate, South Gloucestershire; for what purpose the building is used; and if he will make a statement on its future use and ownership. [169240]

Mr. Jamieson

The Highways Agency owns the land and the on site storage facilities on Kennedy Way at Yate (the "Sea Stores" site). The site is the central facility for the co-ordination of the bulk purchase and storage of the agency's motorway communications equipment, which serves the national motorway and trunk road network.

As part of the agency's sound business practice, the future use and ownership of the site and its operation remains under continual review.
