Mr. Hayhoe
The Government accepted in 1974 that 22,500 acres of the 31,000 acres recommended for disposal by the defence lands committee should be given up. Over 19,000 acres of this land have been passed to the Property
495W
Services Agency for disposal. The Ministry of Defence has given up other land as well and since the Nugent committee report was issued the defence estate has been reduced by 32,000 acres.
Approximately 1,600 acres of land and 400 houses have been purchased and leased since the committee reported and the purchase of a further 1,400 acres and 2 houses has been authorised. It is intended to release 8,000 married quarters and hirings in the two years ending December 1980. Our plans regarding any future significant releases of other properties and land will as usual appear in the Statement on Defence Estimates.
The following property has been passed to the Property Services Agency for disposal since July 1978:
