Defence written question – answered at on 13 May 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Ministry of Defence houses were sold in each of the last 10 years.
Details of the number of service family accommodation (SFA) properties sold in Northern Ireland are not held centrally so will take a little more time to collate. I will write to the hon. Member and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
Records of other SFA sold in financial year 1997-98 to 1999-2000 no longer exist. However, SFA properties sold in each financial year since FY 2000-01 are set out as follows:
Financial year | SFA sold |
2000-01 | 316 |
2001-02 | 250 |
2002-03 | 336 |
2003-04 | 208 |
2004-05 | 62 |
2005-06 | 281 |
2006-07 | 365 |

Please accept my apologies for the lateness of writing but this was due to an administrative error.
