Dear chap where are there 100,000 MOD military and civil serpant staff? The refurbished MOD holds about 3300 military and civilian staff. Most of the rest of the military and MOD civil serpents have been moved out of London already. Just why should a department of state be relocated to anywhere other than the capital along with all of the other departments of state?

Anyone who still thinks there are thousands of personnel in MOD HQ hasn't been there and did not go through the drawdown process prior to the move back into MB. And anyone who thinks the MOD HQ is overstaffed hasn't worked there!

And anyway London is a great place to work if you have to do a ground tour, so why would we want to move out to Brizzle and the like?
