§ Mr. DoranTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will reconsider the way his Department places a valuation on publicly owned land to be disposed of.
§ Mr. FreemanNo. Before disposing of surplus property we obtain professional advice either from within MOD, from the district valuer or from commercial consultants. They prepare valuations of surplus property on the basis of full open market value taking account of existing or established uses and, when appropriate, development potential.
