HC Deb 07 May 1986 vol 97 c137W
Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the sale of surplus land owned by his Department.

Mr. Lee

It is the policy of the Ministry of Defence to pass land and buildings which are no longer required for defence purposes to the PSA for disposal. Since 1979 the estate has been reduced by almost 28,000 acres.

Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what bids have been received from developers for the purchase of properties owned by his Department in Kent.

Mr. Lee

In recent months no bids have been received, but two speculative inquiries have been made on behalf of clients seeking development land in Kent.
