	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2016 answer text <p>&quot;A Better Defence Estate&quot; is a military-led report.</p><p>Ministry of Defence (MOD) officials have met with the majority of Local Authorities impacted by the plans set out in &quot;A Better Defence Estate&quot; as part of the department's routine engagement process. Letters have also been sent to the leaders of all Local Authorities to inform them that Defence sites within their areas were included in the announcement. These letters set out the potential disposal time-frame, where applicable and invite appropriate engagement at official level with the Local Authorities on the likely impacts.</p><p>The announcement aims to provide as much clarity and certainty on the MOD's long term intent, up to two decades, to invest in certain sites and communities. This will give Local Authorities the time to plan and to explore ways in which a vacated site could be used, including for housing or commercial use. The MOD is also aware of the impact that moving additional personnel into existing Defence sites will have on local communities and will be working closely with Local Authorities and relevant government departments.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 16/11/2016 16:02:35 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) works hard to detect and deter theft and there are robust processes in place to raise awareness of the need for vigilance in all aspects of security. Just as theft occurs in wider society, the MOD is not immune and we actively encourage individuals to report any evidence of loss or suspicion of theft. It is important to note that in some cases of reported theft the property is later recovered. In the case of key assets however, MOD sites have a wide range of additional security measures to ensure their safety.</p><p>111 reported incidents of theft that included items above £250 were recorded for the period 1 November 2014 - 31 October 2015. 60 reported incidents of theft that included items above £250 were recorded for the period 1 November 2015 - 31 October 2016.</p><p>In respect of the further detailed information requested concerning stolen items over £250 will take time to collate and I will write to the hon.
