Table: Income from sub-letting properties on the Department for Communities and Local Government estate

Financial year Amount (£)

2010-11 £1,574,236

2011-12 £3,023,417

2012-13 £3,481,200

2013-14 £6,522,484

2014-15 £4,428,275

2015-16 £2,994,370

2016-17 £4,077,054

The government uses a process of a Memorandum of Terms of Occupation which enables us to use our assets efficiently and share space between government organisations. We have not included MOTO income in these figures, as these are not sub-lets.
