To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate his Department has made of the current value of assets owned in the UK property market by (a) Russian oligarchs and (b) others associated with the Putin regime.
HM Land Registry (HMLR) registers legal ownership, interests, mortgages and other secured loans against land and property in England and Wales and in most cases the price paid is also recorded. Land Registration is a devolved matter in Scotland and in Northern Ireland.
The Register of Title held by HMLR does not record the nationality of individuals who own land or property.
Further details about the information that HM Land Registry holds, what is publicly available, and how it can be obtained, is set out online via the GOV.UK website.
