Departments: Land
Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what disposals his Department made of land in Hampshire in each year since 1997; and whether he required any of the land to be used for social housing. [149940]
Derek Twigg: The Ministry of Defence (MOD) supports the Government’s housing agenda and works closely with English Partnerships, the regional development agencies, local authorities and other key stakeholders when considering its disposal strategy. This will often include an assessment of development and regeneration opportunities, including the need for social housing, through the preparation of a planning briefer outline planning application. This can be taken forward by prospective purchasers but it is not for the MOD to impose any requirements.
The MOD property assets disposed of in Hampshire for the years requested are listed as follows. The list does not include the Service Families Accommodation (SFA) in Hampshire, that was part of the SFA estate in England and Wales sold to Annington Homes Ltd. in 1996.
While every care has been taken in preparing this response in the time available, the accuracy can not be guaranteed prior to 2000 when electronic records were introduced.

For more senior applicants, the MOD provides the independent Advisory Committee on Business Appointments with a recommendation and the final decision is made by the Prime Minister on the advice of the Advisory Committee.
Interviews are not required, but a meeting may be requested by an applicant before a final decision is taken on their application.
