Crown Estate: Wales
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much have each local authority in Wales paid to the Crown Estate to access Crown Estate land in each year of the last five years.
Answered by James Murray
The Crown Estate operates as an independent and unified commercial entity, engaging in a variety of business activities across Wales, England and Northern Ireland.
To achieve efficiency in its operations, The Crown Estate runs many of its functions at a whole enterprise level. Reflective of its whole enterprise approach, The Crown Estate runs a single set of accounts across its functions, which are not disaggregated according to administrative areas or local authorities. Extracting the relevant information from the existing accounts into a bespoke format for each local authority in response to this question would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold for Written Parliamentary Questions.
