Reflective of this whole enterprise approach, The Crown Estate runs a single set of accounts across its functions, which are not disaggregated according to administrative areas, local authorities or counties. Extracting the relevant information from the existing accounts into a bespoke format to align with the request for 22 counties of Wales would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold for Written Parliamentary Questions.</p> answering member printed Lord Livermore question first answered 23/10/2024 16:05:12 answering member 4559 label Biography information for Lord Livermore
