To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the current defence lands service budget; to what extent it covers planning and infrastructure costs prior to disposal; and if he will make a statement.

The operating costs budget for the defence lands service was set at £22,800,000 for the present financial year. The allocation of funds for the purpose of preparing surplus land and buildings ready for disposal is made separately, and is £9,400,000 for the same period.
