Those examples have already been sold. I think you'll find useful things like Northolt, Wellington Barracks, Regents Park Barracks and a myriad of Reserves' Centres are on his list of 57. All quite useful in their own way and irrereplacable - once they're gone they're gone and no going back.

As for the £380M that he's raised from the sale of Brompton Rd and the Old War Offices amongst some others? This is a piffling amount when you compare it to the recent 'new build' infra like at Worthy Down and RAF Lyneham plus future follies like moving Cosford to Lyneham and other such nonsense - anyway it's the tens of billions on uber expensive equipment from our defense contractors that is where the money is going (all to buy the politicians more votes for jobs).
