Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with Fife Council on MoD Caledonia and the reallocation of land use in the Fife Plan to include housing on that site.

"A Better Defence Estate" is a military-led review. Ministry of Defence (MOD) officials wrote to Fife Council to inform them of the Department's plans to optimise the estate; as set out in "A Better Defence Estate", and the impact upon MOD Caledonia. The letter sets out the potential disposal timeframe and invites engagement at official level. Officials will engage fully with Fife Council, prior to the sites disposal in 2022, in order to understand how the site could best support the local area.
