<p>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.</p><p> </p><p>The current landholdings of HM Treasury are shown in the table
below. This does not include land previously identified as surplus that has now been
disposed. The information is correct at time of publication.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Land
in square metres*</p></td><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>South West</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Department</p></td><td><p>24,540.33</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Agencies</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Non-departmental
public bodies</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total</p></td><td><p>24,540.33</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>The core department owns property that it both occupies and sublets to agencies,
non-departmental public bodies and other government departments.</p><p> </p><p>Of
the total land HM Treasury holds in England, zero hectares are currently declared
as surplus. These figures include agencies and non-departmental public bodies.</p><p>
</p><p>* We have interpreted this PQ to require information regarding freehold property
only. No information quantifying hectares is available as HM Treasury’s property comprises
only buildings.</p>
