Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made on buying back ownership of the Annington Homes estate.

To test further our enfranchisement rights and whether the exercise of those rights will deliver value for money for the taxpayer, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has recently launched a small number of additional test cases. In addition, we continue to prepare for the Court of Appeal hearing, which is scheduled for July, where the Court will consider Annington Homes’ appeal, on limited grounds, of the High Court’s judgment, which dismissed all of Annington’s challenges against MOD.
