Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, to whom his Department has sold Minley Manor and for what price; how many bidders there were for that site; whether those bidders were asked to improve their offers; when the sale was completed; and what covenants were put in place relating to that sale.

Minley Manor was sold to Strong Property UK Ltd in October 2014. The Minstry of Defence does not release the details of the amount received from any recent sale as to do so would prejudice commercial interests. There were nine bidders for the site, but no bidders were asked to improve their offers due to the fact the sale was by Formal Tender. A copy of the Transfer deed showing the covenants put in place relating to the sale will be placed in the Library of the House.
