Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what proportion of his Department's estate is (a) rented, (b) owned and (c) occupied through any other type of agreement.

The Government Legal Department (GLD) does not own any estate but rents all of its office space. GLD teams co-located with their client teams occupy client building space as part of an overall fee agreement for the provision of legal services to clients.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) estate is comprised of 42 buildings with the types of occupation shown in the table below. The HMCPSI estate is included as part of this.

The Serious Fraud Office’s (SFO’s) estates have always been rented either by a lease agreement, or a Civil Estate Occupancy Agreement (MOTO). The SFO’s current estate is leased. The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) estate is also leased.
