Nicholas Soames: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make an estimate of the value of backlog maintenance of central Government-owned assets. [196969]
Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury: These data are not available as backlog maintenance is for individual Departments to manage and consequently the Treasury does not ask for the information. The Whole of Government Accounts (WGA) does include current valuations for assets across Government, which takes into account the condition of the assets.
