Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what land or buildings owned by, leased by, or under the control of, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office they are seeking to dispose of, and for what purposes.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) constantly reviews its global estate in the light of changing operational needs in order to optimise its use and ensure it remains safe, secure, fit for purpose and value for money. As a consequence, the FCO regularly acquires and disposes of property assets. In order to maximise the price received for the sale of our assets and keep our negotiations with landlords confidential, it is not our policy to release details of our disposals programme in advance.
