To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the most recent valuation is of his Department's headquarters in Whitehall.
Mark Francois
The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence
The market value of Ministry of Defence (MOD) property is normally only assessed when it comes up for disposal. No such assessment has been made of MOD Main Building as it continues to be a core site.
As part of the MOD's quinquennial Asset Valuation programme, in November 2008 the net replacement cost of Main Building and the land it stands on was valued at £209.4 million and £63 million respectively. The land value was reassessed in January 2012 at £61.3 million.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
Whitehall is a wide road that runs through the heart of Westminster, starting at Trafalgar square and ending at Parliament. It is most often found in Hansard as a way of referring to the combined mass of central government departments, although many of them no longer have buildings on Whitehall itself.
