Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what research his Department has undertaken on the (a) disposal of Parsons Barracks and (b) use of that site for strategic defence purposes.

Answer

Both Parsons and Venning Barracks have been identified for future disposal when they become surplus to military requirements as part of the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Estate Optimisation work and Future Soldier: Transformation of the British Army reforms. As this is not forecast to be before 2030, our assessments are still underway.
