The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether it remains his policy to release land to Homes England through the Defence Infrastructure Organisation to meet the government's housebuilding commitments.
Answered by Maria Eagle
On average the Ministry of Defence releases enough surplus land for over 3,500 new homes a year.
There is no policy mandating this land is released to Homes England, however, along with other Government Departments the Ministry of Defence works with Homes England where appropriate.
