§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many acres of land held by his Department have been disposed of to local authorities or private developers for the purpose of home construction in each of the past five years.
§ Mr. FreemanI regret that records are not maintained in the form required that would enable this information to be provided. I can, however, say that between 1 April 1982 and 1 April 1987 the Defence estate has been reduced by 21,047 acres.
