Ministry of Defence written question – answered at on 21 November 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to paragraph 2.19 of the National Audit Office report, Delivering the Defence Estate, published on 15 November 2016, for what reasons his Department predicts that it will have insufficient capital available to fund its re-provision requirements as part of its Footprint Strategy.
The Department's modelling has shown that the total anticipated receipts from disposals, in addition to the funding allocated within the Department's budget, will be less than the total investment required to generate the capability benefits and longer term savings to the Department in running costs described in the Better Defence Estate Strategy.
