It therefore does not manage or insure properties subject to escheat.</p><p>The Crown Estate is not bound to dispose of property subject to escheat, or to dispose of such property to any particular purchaser. Normal policy is to dispose of such property to an appropriate purchaser where it is possible to do so.</p> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 19/10/2023 13:40:43 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson
