Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in which of the last 10 years her Department has submitted a strategic asset management plan to the Government Property Unit.

The Government Property Unit has commissioned Strategic Asset Management Plans (SAMPs) from departments on an annual basis since 2014.

The SAMP articulates the property aspects of a department's business and forms part of the overall planning framework in government linked to each Single Departmental Plan. In some cases, where there are significant changes to a Department's remit (such as following a machinery of government change or major business reviews), the timing of a SAMP refresh may be aligned with the broader strategy for the Department.

Information is provided regularly to the Government Property Unit about the management of the department’s property assets and Executive Summaries of SAMPs will be published for the first time in Autumn 2017.
