You asked

How many buildings are in public ownership?

This means how many buildings are in public ownership, that are used as offices or for public services and not as residents. I am ultimately trying to break down this information into public sectors, like NHS, the three emergency services and any other public agencies.

We said

Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the requested information.

Your request may be better placed with the Cabinet Office/the Government Property Agency, who can both be contacted via the following email address: foi-team@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.
