Answer

I refer the Member to reply number 51514 (2025) for information relating to new or renewed leases between 1 January 2024 and 30 October 2025 by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. As per Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the additional material requested (the requested information for the entities I am responsible for, full data since 2023, annual rent, lease term, and the decision making process), as it will require a significant diversion of resource. The Member may wish to consider asking a more specific question.
