To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the Answer of 1 May 2007, Official Report, column 1539W, on the Valuation Office: contracts, what the expected expenditure is on the Data Capture/Other Operating Costs for the remaining duration of the current Rightmove contract. (141758)

The Valuation Office Agency’s published Annual Reports and Accounts for 2005-06 and 2006-07 show expenditure to date, net of recoverable VAT. Any anticipated future expenditure cannot be released into the public domain, as this would prejudice the commercial interests of both the VOA and Rightmove.co.uk plc.
