Transport written question – answered at on 11 June 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many uninhabited houses the Highways Agency owns in (a) Staffordshire and (b) the UK.
On behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport, my right hon. Friend Justine Greening, the Highways Agency holds property that may be required for the improvement, management or operation of the trunk road and motorway network in England. The Agency does not own any property in its own right.

Of those 60:
24 are in the process of being sold
10 are either in the process of being let or are being advertised for letting
15 either have works under way or have works programmed
11 are currently under review for repair or potential sale
