Crown Estate: Rented Housing
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has made an assessment of the adequacy of the transparency of letting arrangements for residential properties managed by the Crown Estate.
Answered by James Murray
The Crown Estate operates under the requirements set out in the Crown Estate Act 1961, including the requirement to lay in the Houses of Parliament an annual report and accounts audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. The Comptroller and Auditor General may also carry out value for money studies of The Crown Estate under the National Audit Act 1983, and has access to Crown Estate information in the same way as they do for government departments.
