Written Question
Northern Ireland Office: Land
Wednesday 14th March 2018

Asked by: Jack Lopresti (Conservative - Filton and Bradley Stoke)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he will request from the authorities in Northern Ireland details of (a) the land the Northern Ireland Executive holds and (b) the proportion of that land which has been judged surplus; and if he will place that information in the Library.

Answered by Shailesh Vara

The ownership and management of land held by the Northern Ireland Executive is a devolved matter. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland does not therefore intend to request this information.
