An historic York Army barracks that was to be sold off by the MoD has been saved.

Defence procurement minister James Cartlidge has confirmed in a letter to York Outer MP Julian Sturdy that the Queen Elizabeth Barracks at Strensall will no longer be sold off.

The future of the barracks has been under threat for eight years.
