Cash in the bank
For a relatively young institution the Assembly has certainly accumulated a lot of assets:
Mick Bates: Will the Minister make a statement on the Welsh Assembly Government's property assets? OAQ0515(FIN)
Sue Essex: As at 31 March 2005, the net book value of the Assembly's tangible fixed assets, excluding information technology, plant and equipment, amounted to £9.7 billion. In addition, at that date, the net book value of comparable assets of Assembly sponsored public bodies that merged with the Assembly in April 2006, amounted to £262 million.
It is a shame that most of it is road infrastructure. Still, it is interesting nevertheless.
