Written Question
Department for Education: Land
Tuesday 25th April 2017

Asked by: Mark Prisk (Conservative - Hertford and Stortford)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to paragraphs 1.296 and 1.297 of the Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015, what progress her Department has made by estimated capacity of land sold since March 2016 in identifying and disposing of land to meet the Government's commitment.

Answered by Caroline Dinenage

The Department completed its sale of planned surplus properties in 2015-2016 and therefore there has been no sale of surplus property assets from the core departmental estate in 2016-17.

The Department keeps its estate under review to ensure that it delivers value for money.
