I have been asked to reply.

The Department for Communities and Local Government has not made a recent estimate of the monetary value of surplus public sector land. Asset valuations are kept by each land owner. The Register of Surplus Public Sector Land (the Register) is maintained by Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) on behalf of the Department.

In mid-February 2011, the Register contained details of 909 sites covering 8,118 hectares owned by the participating public sector organisations. Individual locations can be viewed on the HCA website at:
