National Asset Register

The National Asset Register, first published in 1997 provides a comprehensive list of all fixed assets and fixed asset investments owned by central Government. It also details the evolution of the Governments asset stock by including all available data on acquisitions and disposals.

A vital tool for improving Government Asset Management, the Register has been updated twice, firstly in 2001 and then again in 2007.
