The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 9 June 2026 to Question 6104, what the evidential basis is for determining that disposal of the Prince William of Gloucester Barracks delivers best value for the taxpayer.

Answered by Luke Pollard

While there are no plans to publish the assessments, I can confirm that the Value for Money (VfM) assessments considered all the reprovisions linked to the disposal of the Prince William of Gloucester Barracks (PWoG) and on this basis the VfM position of the multiple programme moves was established.

PWoG Barracks has been identified for disposal when it becomes surplus to Military requirements. At the point any site is declared surplus we are required to ensure best value for the taxpayer, and this is usually identified as disposal of the site.
