HC Deb 02 April 2003 vol 402 cc738-9W
Sue Doughty

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list Ministry of Defence sites in the South East of England that were classed as(a) common land and (b) manorial waste prior to their acquisition by the MOD in the last 30 years. [106214]

Dr. Moonie

Departmental records for the South East (SE) are currently being searched to extract the information requested. The geographical area handled by Defence Estates' SE Region covers Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, North Hampshire, Surrey, West and East Sussex, Kent and Greater London. There are potentially 10,000 records/deeds that need to be investigated by Records staff, based at Aldershot and Canterbury.

Once the search has been completed I will write to the hon. Member and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
