Assets
Defence
Angus Robertson (Moray, Scottish National Party)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what (a) land and buildings, (b) single use military equipment, (c) dwellings and (d) other departmental assets were disposed of in each year since 2008; and what their value was.
Andrew Robathan (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans), Defence; South Leicestershire, Conservative)
The total value of (a) land and buildings (excluding dwellings, but including the land on which they stand), (b) single use military equipment, (c) dwellings, and (d) other assets disposed of in each year since 2008 is provided in the following table.
| £ million | ||||
| (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
| 2008-09 | 74 | 647 | 0 | 1,790 |
| 2009-10 | 851 | 1,588 | 202 | 529 |
| 2010-11 | 943 | 7,535 | 104 | 2,807 |
The figures above are the value of the assets in the MOD's accounts at the time of disposal, rather than any money received.
The data for 2011-12 will published in the annual report and accounts, later in the year.
I will place in the Library of the House a list of all land and buildings, including dwellings, sold by the Department in each year since 2008.
A full list of all single use military equipment and other assets disposed in each year since 2008 is not stored centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
