This strategic review of the Defence estate will provide a more efficient and better infrastructure laydown in support of military capability for future generations. The MOD expects to announce the final results of this review in the autumn. When the MOD no longer has a requirement for vacant properties they will be disposed of in accordance with the standard disposal procedure.</p><p>The MOD is also reducing the number of voids by leasing out vacant properties from directly renting to the general public and through other organisations. A number of properties are also vacant awaiting the return of remaining Army personnel and families from Germany over the next three years who will require accommodation.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt grouped question UIN 37895 question first answered 31/05/2016 14:50:01 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
