Defence written question – answered at on 3 June 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence with reference to the answer of 18 December 2012, Official Report, column 708W, and the answer of 10 April 2013, Official Report, column 1125W, on armed forces: Scotland, for what reason the former answers made no reference to possible prejudice to commercial interests; and for what reasons he considers that placing in the Library a copy of the capacity review of the Army estate in Scotland would prejudice such interests.
The full capacity review on the Army estate in Scotland is commercially sensitive as to release it would place details of anticipated disposal receipts and forecast costs for sites into the public domain. This may prejudice the value that the Ministry of Defence would eventually achieve in any subsequent disposal.
This was not mentioned in the previous responses as at that time the capacity review was still being drafted.
