HC Deb 26 June 1984 vol 62 cc421-2W
34. Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the acreage of land owned or leased by his Department; and how this figure compares with five and 10 years before.

Mr. Lee

Some 604,000 acres of land and foreshore, freehold and leasehold were held by my Department in April 1984, of which nearly 7,000 acres were with the Property Services Agency for disposal. This compares with 620,000 acres in April 1979 and 648,000 in 1974.
