Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to ask for funding from the public purse for his Department or any of its arm's-length bodies to invest in surplus property for disposal or re-let.

Any decision to invest in surplus property for disposal or relet will be made on a case by case basis and will also take into account funding available from the Department or the arm’s length bodies concerned, if it provides value for money.
