Nicholas Soames: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office which assets the Government intends to sell by the end of financial year 2014-15; and if he will make a statement [165645]

Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury: I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Treasury.

The Government is committed to ensuring the effective and efficient management of publicly owned assets, including assessing options for disposal. Where there is no longer a strong policy reason for continued public ownership or where there is potential for an asset to operate more sensibly and efficiently in the private sector, the Government will continue to look into the potential sale of public sector assets.
