Departments: Property

Volume 461: debated on Monday 18 June 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much was raised from the sale of departmental property in each of the last five years. (139319)

The proceeds from the disposal of surplus defence land and buildings are as follows:

Financial year

£ million

2001-02

185

2002-03

281

2003-04

207

2004-05

216

2005-06

258

It should be noted that 2001-02 includes disposals in the UK and North West Europe only. Disposals in the rest of the world cannot be obtained without incurring disproportionate cost.

2006-07 figures will be available once the agency accounts of Defence Estates—the Ministry of Defence organisation responsible for the defence estate—have been audited. A copy will be placed in the Library of the House.
