Departmental Land

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the (a) estimated monetary value, (b) location and (c) size is of each land asset owned by his Department.

Answer: Details of all land owned by the Ministry of Defence are held on a property database, including the last valuation based on the rolling five year revaluation programme undertaken by the Department. Valuations are stated at either replacement cost or existing use value rather than market or sale value and thus do not take account of the possibility of any development potential or any costs associated with the decontamination of the land.An extract has been taken from the database and will be placed in the Library of the House.
