It should be noted that these figures represent only a "snapshot" of the situation in regard to sites in disposal. Land is declared surplus and comes forward for disposal frequently, and sites are sold on a regular basis.
26WThe list is also restricted to land, rather than buildings and thus does not constitute the totality of MOD sites in disposal.
