To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much land his Department has released for the purpose of building new homes since May 2010.
The Department is committed to disposing of surplus property assets expeditiously. Since the start of the spending review (SR10) the size of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) estate has reduced by over 600 properties to nearly 1,500 properties. The MOJ has already released land suitable for 1,253 housing units and in 2014-15 we are expected to release land suitable for a further 300 units. Therefore we will comfortably exceed our SR10 target of releasing land suitable for 1,262 housing units.
