HC Deb 27 March 2000 vol 347 c27W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the estimated acreage of military land in the UK surplus to requirements on 1 March. [116212]

Dr. Moonie

Land which is declared surplus to defence requirements is disposed of. The Strategic Defence Review set a target of £700 million for estate disposals over the four years to 2001–02 and we are well on track to achieve that figure. Figures for the hectarage of land in disposal are not held centrally but I will write to my hon. Friend and place a copy of my reply in the Library of the House.
