The UK Government is a significant landowner. The current Government Estate Strategy sets out the Government's vision to create an efficient, fit-for-purpose and sustainable estate whose performance matches the best of the private sector. As a Government we are delivering this vision, ensuring that the estate is fit for purpose, is frequently reviewed and aligned to the Estate Strategy, and is managed in an efficient and effective way.

The money raised by DCMS from property, plant and equipment (which includes land and buildings) in each year since 2010 is shown in the table below. The information is available only in combination, so is not split into (a) assets, (b) land and (c) buildings. We are unable to provide information on the money raised by DCMS, split between land, buildings and other assets without incurring a disproportionate cost. The information is correct at time of publication.

The information given is for DCMS only: it does not include information from DCMS's arm's length bodies.
