Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Answer of 15 March 2021 to Question 166296 on Burlington House, for what reason the Guidance for the Disposal of Surplus Land, published by the Cabinet Office in 2017, was withdrawn in June 2021; and what has replaced that guidance.

The Guidance for the Disposal of Surplus Land has been withdrawn as, in part, it has been overtaken by updated policy and standards, including the recently updated Government Functional Standard for Property, published in September 2021.
