[196072] Charlotte Atkins: The Department for Transport was formed in May 2002 and as a result the information provided relates to the period from then. As a result information is available only for 2003-04. The information requested relating to the year 2003-04 covers over a thousand properties and has been placed in the Libraries of the House. Some information requested relating to smaller properties is not kept on record centrally, but by the Agency in question. To obtain this information would result in a disproportionate cost.
