HC Deb 08 December 1994 vol 251 c313W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the present number of(a) Navy, (b) Royal Air Force and (c) Army military bases within the United Kingdom.

Mr Soames

Data held on the defence property list does not differentiate between minor sites and major locations. The total number of facilities attributed to single services are as follows:

  1. (a) NAVY = 223
  2. (b) RAF = 276
  3. (c) ARMY = 447

These figures include facilities such as training areas and ranges, but exclude facilities such as married quarters, career information offices, and facilities for the reserve forces.
