Part 8: Public Authority Land Section 211: Reports on improving efficiency and sustainability of buildings in military estate
This section is intended to ensure the Government is focused on improving the efficiency and sustainability of the central government military estate; and that progress towards that objective is made transparent.
	This section amends section 86 of the Climate Change Act 2008, which requires the MCO to report annually on the progress made in the year towards improving the efficiency and contribution to sustainability of the central government civil estate. It extends that duty to the military estate. For this purpose "the military estate" means central government buildings used for the purpose of Her Majesty’s armed forces which are not part of the civil estate.
	This section gives the MCO a power to specify by order buildings of a description which are not part of the military estate for the purpose of preparing a report. This could for example be used to exclude from a report buildings, which are only held on a very short-term basis.
