Government Property: Northern Ireland

Volume 689: debated on Tuesday 6 February 2007

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Which pieces of police estate in Northern Ireland have been disposed of since 1994; whether they will provide details of each property; and, in the case of each piece (a) how long the police service owned it; (b) from whom and at what cost it was acquired, if acquired since 1970; (c) how the disposal was conducted; (d) who purchased it from the police service; (e) what were the sale price and selling costs; and (f) where the resulting assets were placed. [HL165]

All PSNI disposals are conducted through the Valuation and Lands Agency (VLA) in accordance with the central advisory unit disposal process. The information requested is set out in the table below. Vender and vendee details are omitted, given security and commercial considerations. Estate agents’ costs, where applicable, are included under “selling costs”. Selling costs exclude internal charges for PSNI, legal services and VLA.
