answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2014 answer text <p>As in my answer given on 28 April 2014, Column Reference 548W, HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) does not own any land, and does not have any un-encumbered freehold buildings within its estate. The only exceptions to this are freehold interests in five Grade 1 Listed buildings that are owned by HMRC. However, each of these is subject to encumbrances impacting value and market demand. These five are compromised of the following:</p><p> </p><p>· Three historic Custom Houses (London, Greenock &amp; Belfast) each of which is subject to a 175 lease from 2001with nil rent receivable. HMRC sold the virtual freehold interest in these properties in 2001.</p><p>· Darwin House in Shrewsbury is subject to a 175 year lease from 2001 with nil rent receivable. HMRC also sold the virtual freehold interest in these properties in 2001.</p><p>· 100 Parliament Street/ 1Horse Guards Road in London is subject to occupational rights to 2037 for the PFI provider, with nil rent receivable.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC does not plan to sell land or buildings in 2014/15.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This position was previously stated and accepted in response to an enquiry made by the Homes and Community Agency in November 2013 on behalf of Cabinet Office (Government Property Unit) in relation to the Strategic Land and Property Review.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 15/07/2014 14:20:08 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
