To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (1) if he will list the names and locations of structures sited on Crown Estate land but not owned by the Crown Estate to which repair work has been carried out by the Crown Estate; (281913)

Crown Estate land comprises extensive urban, rural, foreshore and seabed interests. It does not keep an ownership record of all the structures, including piers and harbours, on its land.

Nor has it any general duty of care as landowner for piers or harbours on its land, whether leased or not. In common with all landowners, the Crown Estate has a statutory duty of care to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable injury to persons, and has to comply with any statutory notices.
